Let $\mathbf V$ be the $m\times3$ matrix whose columns are $\mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3$ , and let $\mathbf c$ be the vector whose components are the constants $c_1,c_2,c_3$ . Now consider the matrix equation

$\mathbf V\mathbf c=\mathbf 0$

Multiplying both sides by $\mathbf V^\top$ , we have

$\mathbf V^\top(\mathbf V\mathbf c)=(\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V)\mathbf c=\mathbf 0$

More explicitly, we're writing

$\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\mathbf v_2&\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}$

Multiply both sides by $\mathbf V^\top$ and the left hand side can be written as

$\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathbf v_1}^\top\\{\mathbf v_2}^\top\\{\mathbf v_3}^\top\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\mathbf v_2&\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_3\\{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_3\\{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}$

We're told that ${\mathbf v_i}^\top\mathbf v_j=0$ whenever $i\neq j$ , so we're left with

$\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}\|\mathbf v_1\|^2&0&0\\0&\|\mathbf v_2\|^2&0\\0&0&\|\mathbf v_3\|^2\end{bmatrix}$

Each of $\mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3$ are nonzero, which means their norms are nonzero, which necessarily implies that $\mathbf c=0$ , and so the vectors $\mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3$ must necessarily be linearly independent.

If a > b > c > d, then which is larger, a+c or b+d ? Can we tell from a > b > c > d which of a+d and b+c is la

victus00 [196]

Answer:

1. a+c is larger than b+d

2. No way to tell whether a+d or b+c is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Which is larger, a+c or b+d?

Let a, b, c, and d be any numbers such that $a > b > c > d$ .

Specifically, note that $a > b$ , and subtracting b from both sides of the inequality, observe that $a-b > 0$ .

Similarly, $c > d$ , and subtracting d from both sides of the inequality, observe that $c-d > 0$ .

From this, add "a-b" (a positive number, as proven above) to both sides of the inequality.

$(a-b)+(c-d) > (a-b)+0$

Addition by zero (the additive identity) doesn't change anything, so the right side remains "a-b"...

$(a-b)+(c-d) > a-b$

... and "a-b" is positive...

$(a-b)+(c-d) > a-b > 0$

... so, by the transitive property of inequality...

$(a-b)+(c-d) > 0$

Recall that subtraction is addition by a negative number...
$a+(-b)+c+(-d) > 0$

...and that addition is associative and commutative, so things can be added in any order, so the middle two terms on the left side can be rearranged...

$a+c+(-b)+(-d) > 0$

Adding b + d to both sides of the inequality

$(a+c+(-b)+(-d))+(b+d) > 0+(b+d)$

... and simplifying

$a+c > b+d$

So, a+c is larger than b+d.

2. Which is larger, a+d or b+c?

Consider the following two examples:

Example 1

Suppose a=10; b=3; c=2; d=1.

Note that $a > b > c > d$ ( $10 > 3 > 2 > 1$ ) and, also observe that $a+d=(10)+(1)=11$ , and $b+c=(3)+(2)=5$ , so a+d is larger than b+c.

Example 2

However, suppose a=10; b=9; c=8; d=1.

Note that $a > b > c > d$ ( $10 > 9 > 8 > 1$ ) but that $a+d=(10)+(1)=11$ , and $b+c=(9)+(8)=17$ , so a+d is smaller than b+c.

So, in one example, a+d is bigger, and in the other, a+d is smaller. Therefore, there is no way to tell which of a+d or b+c is larger from only the given information.
