Explain why a set \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _4}} \right\}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^5}\) must be linearly independent when \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}} \right\}\) is linearly independent and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _4}\) is not in Span \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}} \right\}\).
Question: There exists a 2x2 matrix such that.
Let a and b represent real numbers. Describe the possible solution sets of the (linear) equation \(ax = b\). (Hint:The number of solutions depends upon a and b.)
Show that if ABis invertible, so is B.
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 \({T_1},...,{T_4}\).
