Find the equation of the plane \(H:\) (a) with normal \(\mathbf{N}=3 \mathbf{i}-4 \mathbf{j}+5 \mathbf{k}\) and containing the point \(P(1,2,-3)\) (b) parallel to \(4 x+3 y-2 z=11\) and containing the point \(Q(2,-1,3)\)
Let \(W\) denote the subspace of \(R^{5}\) consisting of all the vectors having coordinates that sum to zero. The vectors $$ \begin{array}{ll} u_{1}=(2,-3,4,-5,2), & u_{2}=(-6,9,-12,15,-6), \\ u_{3}=(3,-2,7,-9,1), & u_{4}=(2,-8,2,-2,6), \\ u_{5}=(-1,1,2,1,-3), & u_{6}=(0,-3,-18,9,12), \\ u_{7}=(1,0,-2,3,-2), & u_{8}=(2,-1,1,-9,7) \end{array} $$ generate W. Find a subset of the set $\left\\{u_{1}, u_{2}, \ldots, u_{8}\right\\}$ that is a basis for W.
Find the vector \(v\) identified with the directed line segment \(P Q\) for the points: (a) \(P(2,3,-7)\) and \(Q(1,-6,-5)\) in \(\mathbf{R}^{3}\) (b) \(P(1,-8,-4,6)\) and \(Q(3,-5,2,-4)\) in \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\)
Find a parametric representation of the line in \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\) that: (a) passes through the points \(P(1,2,1,2)\) and \(Q(3,-5,7,-9)\) (b) passes through \(P(1,1,3,3)\) and is perpendicular to the hyperplane \(2 x_{1}+4 x_{2}+6 x_{3}-8 x_{4}=5\)
Let \(u\) and \(v\) be distinct vectors in a vector space \(\mathrm{V}\). Show that \(\\{u, v\\}\) is linearly dependent if and only if \(u\) or \(v\) is a multiple of the other.
