For which value(s) of the constant k do the vectors below form a basis of ?
In Exercise 40 through 43, consider the problem of fitting a conic through given points in the plane; see Exercise 53 through 62 in section 1.2. Recall that a conic is a curve in that can be described by an equation of the form , where at least one of the coefficients is non zero.
42. How many conics can you fit through five distinct points? Describe all possible scenarios, and give an example in each case.
Consider two subspaces and of , where is contained in . Explain why . (This statement seems intuitively rather obvious. Still, we cannot rely on our intuition when dealing with .)
Explain why fitting a cubic through the mpoints amounts to finding the kernel of an mx10matrix A. Give the entries of theof row A.
Consider a subspace in that is defined by homogeneous linear equations
