Determine by inspection whether the vectors in Exercises 15-20 are linearly independent. Justify each answer.

16. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4\\{ - 2}\\6\end{array}} \right],\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}6\\{ - 3}\\9\end{array}} \right]\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The set is linearly dependent.

Step by step solution

01

Determine whether the vectors are multiples of each other

Write the two \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}\) vectors in the expression \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}\) as shown below:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{v_2} &= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}6\\{ - 3}\\9\end{array}} \right]\\ &= \frac{3}{2}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4\\{ - 2}\\6\end{array}} \right]\\ &= \frac{3}{2}{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}\end{aligned}\)

02

Determine whether the vectors are linearly independent

A set of two vectors \(\left\{ {{v_1},{v_2}} \right\}\)islinearly dependentif at least one of the vectors is a multiple of the other. The set islinearly independent if and only if neither of the vectors is a multiple of the other.

Here, the second vector is \(\frac{3}{2}\) times the first vector.

Thus, the set is linearly dependent.

In Exercises 11 and 12, determine if \({\rm{b}}\) is a linear combination of \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1},{a_2}\) and \({a_3}\).

11.\({a_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\{ - 2}\\0\end{array}} \right],{a_2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\2\end{array}} \right],{a_3} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}5\\{ - 6}\\8\end{array}} \right],{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\{ - 1}\\6\end{array}} \right]\)

Let \(T:{\mathbb{R}^2} \to {\mathbb{R}^2}\) be the linear transformation such that \(T\left( {{e_1}} \right)\) and \(T\left( {{e_2}} \right)\) are the vectors shown in the figure. Using the figure, sketch the vector \(T\left( {2,1} \right)\).

Let \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&{ - 4}\\0&3&{ - 2}\\{ - 2}&6&3\end{array}} \right]\) and \(b = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4\\1\\{ - 4}\end{array}} \right]\). Denote the columns of \(A\) by \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1},{a_2},{a_3}\) and let \(W = {\mathop{\rm Span}\nolimits} \left\{ {{a_1},{a_2},{a_3}} \right\}\).

  1. Is \(b\) in \(\left\{ {{a_1},{a_2},{a_3}} \right\}\)? How many vectors are in \(\left\{ {{a_1},{a_2},{a_3}} \right\}\)?
  2. Is \(b\) in \(W\)? How many vectors are in W.
  3. Show that \({a_1}\) is in W.[Hint: Row operations are unnecessary.]

Each statement in Exercises 33-38 is either true (in all cases) or false (for at least one example). If false, construct a specific example to show that the statement is not always true. Such an example is called a counterexample to the statement. If a statement is true, give a justification. (One specific example cannot explain why a statement is always true. You will have to do more work here than in Exercises 21 and 22.)

33. If \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{v_4}\) are in \({\mathbb{R}^4}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3} = 2{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1} + {v_2}\), then \(\left\{ {{v_1},{v_2},{v_3},{v_4}} \right\}\) is linearly dependent.

Find an equation involving \(g,\,h,\)and \(k\) that makes this augmented matrix correspond to a consistent system:

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 4}&7&g\\0&3&{ - 5}&h\\{ - 2}&5&{ - 9}&k\end{array}} \right]\)
