Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
and
are linearly independent.
By definition of linear independent there exits three scalar
and
such that

Where 

We have to prove that
and
are linearly independent.
Let
and
such that





...(1)

..(2)

..(3)
Because
and
are linearly independent.
From equation (1) and (3)
...(4)
Adding equation (2) and (4)


From equation (1) and (2)

Hence,
and
area linearly independent.
45
1. Area = 1/2 B(base) x H(height)
2. Area = 1/2 9 x 10
3. Area = 1/2 90
4. Area = 45 inches
Answer:
Looking at the equation, k=23 is our constant of proportionality because 23 is the constant number we multiply x by.
