Answer:

$(2,6,6) \not \in \text{Span}(u,v)$

$(-9,-2,5)\in \text{Span}(u,v)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $b=(b_1,b_2,b_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3$ . We have that $b\in \text{Span}\{u,v\}$ if and only if we can find scalars $\alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $\alpha u + \beta v = b$ . This can be translated to the following equations:

1. $-\alpha + 3 \beta = b_1$

2. $2\alpha+4 \beta = b_2$

3. $3 \alpha +2 \beta = b_3$

Which is a system of 3 equations a 2 variables. We can take two of this equations, find the solutions for $\alpha,\beta$ and check if the third equationd is fulfilled.

Case (2,6,6)

Using equations 1 and 2 we get

$-\alpha + 3 \beta = 2$

$2\alpha+4 \beta = 6$

whose unique solutions are $\alpha =1 = \beta$ , but note that for this values, the third equation doesn't hold (3+2 = 5 $\neq$ 6). So this vector is not in the generated space of u and v.

Case (-9,-2,5)

Using equations 1 and 2 we get

$-\alpha + 3 \beta = -9$

$2\alpha+4 \beta = -2$

whose unique solutions are $\alpha=3, \beta=-2$ . Note that in this case, the third equation holds, since 3(3)+2(-2)=5. So this vector is in the generated space of u and v.
