1 Exercise 4.4 Spanning set


In each part,
 determine
 wether
 the  A in M22 belongs to span {A1 , A2 , A3 } where,
 given vector
1 −1 1 1 2 2
A1 = , A2 = , and A3 =
0 3 0 2 −1 1
 
5 1
a.) A=
−1 9

Span S is the set M22 consisting of all vectors of the form A= aA1 + bA2 + cA3 .
       
1 −1 1 1 2 2 5 1
a +b +c =
0 3 0 2 −1 1 −1 9
   
a + b + 2c −a + b + 2c 5 1
= =
0−c 3a + 2b + c −1 9
a + b + 2c = 5
−a + b + 2c = 1
−c = −1
3a + 2b + c = 9
by back substitute,
3a + 2b + c = 9
2b = 6 − 4c
a + b + 2c = 5 3a+ = 9 − 2b − c
2b = 6 − 4(1)
−c = −1 ⇒ c = 1 −a + b + 2c = 1 3a = 9 − 2(1) − 1
2b = 2
2b + 4c = 6 3a = 6
b=1
a=2

Since there is a scalar a,b,c such that aA1 + bA2 + cA3 = V,so the given vector a belongs to
span A1 , A2 , A3

2 Exercise 4.5 Linear Independent


which of the given vectors inR3 are linearly dependent?. For those which are, express one vector as a
linear combination of the rest.
    
c.) 1 1 0 , 0 2 3 , 1 2 3 , 0 0 0
V = a1 V1 + a2 V2 + a3 V3 + a4 V4

we write the equation in the following


  format,       
a1 1  1 0 + a2 0  2 3 + a3 1 2 3 + a4 0  0 0 = 0  0 0
a1 a1 0 + 0 2a2 3a2 + a3 2a3 3a3 = 0 0 0

we obtain the homogeneous system,
a1 + a3 = 0
4a1 + 2a2 + 2a3 = 0
3a2 + 3a3 = 0

the corresponding augmented matrix is,  


1 0 1 | 0
1 2 2 | 0

transforming to RREF,  

−1r3 + r2 → r2
0 0 1 | 0
 
1 0 0 | 0
0 1 0 | 0
0 0 1 | 0

Therefore, the vectors are linearly independent R3

3 Exercise 4.6 Basis and Dimension


Which of the following sets of vectors are basis for P2 ?

d.) 3t2 + 2t + 1, t2 + t + 1, t2 + 1 .

To show that the span V and it is linearly independent, we take in vector V , by polynomial at2 + bt + c
and find the conastant a1 , a2 , a3 we have,
at2 + bt + c = a1 (3t2 + 2t + 1) + a2 (t2 + t + 1) + a3 (t2 + 1)
= (3a1 t2 + 2a1 t + a1 ) + (a2 t2 + a2 t + a2 ) + (a3 t2 + a3 )
= t2 (3a1 + a2 + a3 ) + t(2a1 + a2 ) + (a1 + a2 + a3 )
Then solve for a1 , a2 , a3 we obtain linear system,
3a1 + a2 + a3 = 0
2a1 + a2 = 0
a1 + a2 + a3 = 0

by back substitute,

2
3a1 + (−2a1 ) + a3 = 0
3a1 + a2 + a3 = 0
a1 + (−2a2 ) + a3 = 0
2a1 + a2 = 0 → a2 = −2a1 3a1 − 2a2 + 0 = 0 a2 = −2(0) a2 = 0
4a1 − 4a1 + a3 = 0
a1 = 0
a3 = 0

then,
0(3t2 + 2t + 1) + 0(t2 + t + 1) + 0(t2 + 1) = 0

Therefore, the vectors basis for P2 is 0 = 0

4 Exercise 4.7 Homogeneous System


in exercise 3 through 10, find a basis for and the dimension of the solution space of the given
homogeneous system.
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 0
(3.)
2x1 + x2 − x3 + x4 = 0
the corresponding augmented matrix is,
 
1 1 1 1 | 0
2 1 −1 1 | 0
Transform to RREF,
 
1 1 1 1 | 0
−2r1 + r2 → r2
2 1 −1 1 | 0
 
1 1 1 1 | 0
−r2 → r2
0 −1 −3 −1 | 0
 
1 1 1 1 | 0
−r2 + r1 → r1
0 1 3 1 | 0
 
1 0 −2 0 | 0
0 1 3 1 | 0
every solution is then of the form is
 
−2s
3s −t
We let x3 = s, x4 = t, where s and t are real numbers. Then every vectors in the solutions are,
   
−2 0
x=s +t
3 −1
   
−2 0
Therefore, , is the basis of the solution space.
