Question: Determine whether the statements that follow are true or false, and justify your answer.
20: Vector $[\begin{matrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix}]$ is a linear combination of $[\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{matrix}] a n d [\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 8 \\ 9 \end{matrix}]$ .

Answer:

It is true that Vector $[\begin{matrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix}]$ is a linear combination of $[\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{matrix}] a n d [\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 8 \\ 9 \end{matrix}]$ .

Step by step solution

Linear combination

A vector is said to be a linear combination of other vectors if it can be written as in the linear combination of other vectors.

Justification of answer

Let vector $[\begin{matrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix}]$ is a linear combination of $[\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{matrix}] a n d [\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 8 \\ 9 \end{matrix}]$ .

Then it will imply

$[\begin{matrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix}] = x [\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{matrix}] + y [\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 8 \\ 9 \end{matrix}] [\begin{matrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 4 x + 7 y \\ 5 x + 8 y \\ 6 x + 9 y \end{matrix}]$

Now equating the matrix we will get

$4 x + 7 y = 1 5 x + 8 y = 2 6 x + 9 y = 3$

On solving above equations, we will get

x =2 ,y =-1

Hence, it is true that Vector $[\begin{matrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix}]$ is a linear combination of $[\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{matrix}] a n d [\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 8 \\ 9 \end{matrix}]$ .
