Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) There is no value of \(h\) for which \({{\bf{v}}_3}\) is in the span \(\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2}} \right\}\).

(b) The vectors are linearly dependent for all values of \(h\).

Step by step solution

01

(a) Step 1: Write the condition for which one vector in the span of two other vectors

Vector \({{\bf{v}}_3}\) is said to be in the span \(\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2}} \right\}\) if the equation \({x_1}{{\bf{v}}_1} + {x_2}{{\bf{v}}_2} = {{\bf{v}}_3}\) has a solution, where \({{\bf{v}}_1}\), \({{\bf{v}}_2}\), and \({{\bf{v}}_3}\) are vectors.

02

Write the vectors in the form of an augmented matrix

Consider the vectors \({{\bf{v}}_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\{ - 5}\\{ - 3}\end{array}} \right]\), \({{\bf{v}}_2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\{10}\\6\end{array}} \right]\), \({{\bf{v}}_3} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\{ - 9}\\h\end{array}} \right]\).

Use the augmented matrix \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\bf{v}}_1}}&{{{\bf{v}}_2}}&{{{\bf{v}}_3}}\end{array}} \right]\) as shown below:

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2\\{ - 5}&{10}&{ - 9}\\{ - 3}&6&h\end{array}} \right]\)

03

Apply the row operation

Use the \({x_1}\) term from the first equation to eliminate the \( - 5{x_1}\) term from the second equation. Add 5 times row one to row two.

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2\\0&0&1\\{ - 3}&6&h\end{array}} \right]\)

Use the \({x_1}\) term from the first equation to eliminate the \( - 3{x_1}\) term from the third equation. Add 3 times row one to row three.

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2\\0&0&1\\0&0&{h + 6}\end{array}} \right]\)

04

Convert the matrix into the equation

Write the obtained matrix, \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2\\0&0&1\\0&0&{h + 6}\end{array}} \right]\),in the system of equations.

\(\begin{array}{c}{x_1} - 2{x_2} = 2\\0\left( {{x_1}} \right) + 0\left( {{x_2}} \right) = 1\\0\left( {{x_1}} \right) + 0\left( {{x_2}} \right) = h + 6\end{array}\)

Consider the equation \(0\left( {{x_1}} \right) + 0\left( {{x_2}} \right) = 1\). No values of \({x_1}\) and \({x_2}\) satisfy the equation \(0\left( {{x_1}} \right) + 0\left( {{x_2}} \right) = 1\).

Thus, there is no value of \(h\) for which \({{\bf{v}}_3}\) is in the span \(\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2}} \right\}\).

05

(b) Step 5: Write the condition for the linear independence of vectors

The vectors are said to be linearly independent if the equation \({x_1}{{\bf{v}}_1} + {x_2}{{\bf{v}}_2} + {x_3}{{\bf{v}}_3} = 0\) has a trivial solution, where \({{\bf{v}}_1}\), \({{\bf{v}}_2}\), and \({{\bf{v}}_3}\) are vectors.

06

Write the vectors in the form of a matrix equation

Consider the vectors \({{\bf{v}}_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\{ - 5}\\{ - 3}\end{array}} \right]\), \({{\bf{v}}_2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\{10}\\6\end{array}} \right]\), \({{\bf{v}}_3} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\{ - 9}\\h\end{array}} \right]\).

Substitute these vectors in the equation \({x_1}{{\bf{v}}_1} + {x_2}{{\bf{v}}_2} + {x_3}{{\bf{v}}_3} = 0\) as shown below:

\(\begin{array}{c}{x_1}{{\bf{v}}_1} + {x_2}{{\bf{v}}_2} + {x_3}{{\bf{v}}_3} = 0\\{x_1}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\{ - 5}\\{ - 3}\end{array}} \right] + {x_2}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\{10}\\6\end{array}} \right] + {x_3}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\{ - 9}\\h\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\0\end{array}} \right]\end{array}\)

Now, write the vector equation into the matrix equation as shown below:

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2\\{ - 5}&{10}&{ - 9}\\{ - 3}&6&h\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{x_1}}\\{{x_2}}\\{{x_3}}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\0\end{array}} \right]\)

07

Write the matrix in the augmented form

The matrix equation is in \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2\\{ - 5}&{10}&{ - 9}\\{ - 3}&6&h\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{x_1}}\\{{x_2}}\\{{x_3}}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\0\\0\end{array}} \right]\), \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{0}}\) form.

Write the augmented matrix \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}A&{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right]\) as shown below:

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2&0\\{ - 5}&{10}&{ - 9}&0\\{ - 3}&6&h&0\end{array}} \right]\)

08

Apply the row operation

Use the \({x_1}\) term from the first equation to eliminate the \( - 5{x_1}\) term from the second equation. Add 5 times row one to row two.

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2&0\\0&0&1&0\\{ - 3}&6&h&0\end{array}} \right]\)

Use the \({x_1}\) term from the first equation to eliminate the \( - 3{x_1}\) term from the third equation. Add 3 times row one to row three.

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&2&0\\0&0&1&0\\0&0&{h + 6}&0\end{array}} \right]\)

09

Mark the pivot positions in the matrix

Mark the non-zero leading entries in columns one and three.

10

Obtain the general solutions of the system of equations

According to the pivot positions in the obtained matrix, \({x_2}\) is a free variable.

The homogeneous equation has a non-trivial solution, which means the vectors are linearly independent.

So, for every value of \(h\), \(\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2},{{\bf{v}}_3}} \right\}\) is linearly dependent.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Do the three planes \({x_1} + 2{x_2} + {x_3} = 4\), \({x_2} - {x_3} = 1\) and \({x_1} + 3{x_2} = 0\) have at least one common point of intersection? Explain.

An important concern in the study of heat transfer is to determine the steady-state temperature distribution of a thin plate when the temperature around the boundary is known. Assume the plate shown in the figure represents a cross section of a metal beam, with negligible heat flow in the direction perpendicular to the plate. Let \({T_1},...,{T_4}\) denote the temperatures at the four interior nodes of the mesh in the figure. The temperature at a node is approximately equal to the average of the four nearest nodes—to the left, above, to the right, and below. For instance,

\({T_1} = \left( {10 + 20 + {T_2} + {T_4}} \right)/4\), or \(4{T_1} - {T_2} - {T_4} = 30\)

33. Write a system of four equations whose solution gives estimates

for the temperatures \({T_1},...,{T_4}\).

Consider each matrix in Exercises 5 and 6 as the augmented matrix of a linear system. State in words the next two elementary row operations that should be performed in the process of solving the system.

5. \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 4}&5&0&7\\0&1&{ - 3}&0&6\\0&0&1&0&2\\0&0&0&1&{ - 5}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

In Exercises 29 – 32, (a) does the equation \(A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} = {\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) have a nontrivial solution and (b) does the equation \(Ax = b\) have at least one solution for every possible \({\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \)?

30. \(A\) is a \(3 \times 3\) matrix with three pivot positions.

a. Find the general flow pattern in the network shown in the figure.

b. Assuming that the flow must be in the directions indicated, find the minimum flows in the branches denoted by \({x_2}\), \({x_3}\), \({x_4}\) and \({x_5}\).
