In Exercises 9, write a vector equation that is equivalent to
the given system of equations.
9. \({x_2} + 5{x_3} = 0\)
\(\begin{array}{c}4{x_1} + 6{x_2} - {x_3} = 0\\ - {x_1} + 3{x_2} - 8{x_3} = 0\end{array}\)
Use the accompanying figure to write each vector listed in Exercises 7 and 8 as a linear combination of u and v. Is every vector in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) a linear combination of u and v?

7.Vectors a, b, c, and d
Suppose \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}} \right\}\) is a linearly independent set in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). Show that \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1} + {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}} \right\}\) is also linearly independent.
Let \(u = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]\) and \(v = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\1\end{array}} \right]\). Show that \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}h\\k\end{array}} \right]\) is in Span \(\left\{ {u,v} \right\}\) for all \(h\) and\(k\).
Question: If A is a non-zero matrix of the form, then the rank of A must be 2.
