Question 2: Given points \({{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _1} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\{ - 1}\end{array}} \right),{\rm{ }}{{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _2} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\1\end{array}} \right),\) and \({{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _3} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\2\end{array}} \right)\) in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\), let \(S = {\mathop{\rm conv}\nolimits} \left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _3}} \right\}\). For each linear functional \(f\), find the maximum value \(m\) of \(f\), find the maximum value \(m\) of \(f\) on the set \(S\), and find all points x in \(S\) at which \(f\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right) = m\).
a. \(f\left( {{x_1},{x_2}} \right) = {x_1} + {x_2}\)
b. \(f\left( {{x_1},{x_2}} \right) = {x_1} - {x_2}\)
c. \(f\left( {{x_1},{x_2}} \right) = - 2{x_1} + {x_2}\)
Questions: Let \({F_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({F_{\bf{2}}}\) be 4-dimensional flats in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{6}}}\), and suppose that \({F_{\bf{1}}} \cap {F_{\bf{2}}} \ne \phi \). What are the possible dimension of \({F_{\bf{1}}} \cap {F_{\bf{2}}}\)?
Question: 27. Give an example of a closed subset\(S\)of\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\)such that\({\rm{conv}}\,S\)is not closed.
Question: Suppose that the solutions of an equation \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) are all of the form \({\bf{x}} = {x_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{u}} + {\bf{p}}\), where \({\bf{u}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{4}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}\end{array}} \right)\) and \({\bf{p}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right)\). Find points \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}\) such that the solution set of \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) is \({\bf{aff}}\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}},\,{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}} \right\}\).
