Solve the linear system of equations. You may use technology.
In Exercise 23 and 24, make each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
23.
a. Another notation for the vector \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 4}\\3\end{array}} \right]\) is \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 4}&3\end{array}} \right]\).
b. The points in the plane corresponding to \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\5\end{array}} \right]\) and \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 5}\\2\end{array}} \right]\) lie on a line through the origin.
c. An example of a linear combination of vectors \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}\) is the vector \(\frac{1}{2}{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}\).
d. The solution set of the linear system whose augmented matrix is \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{a_2}}&{{a_3}}&b\end{array}} \right]\) is the same as the solution set of the equation\({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _1}{a_1} + {x_2}{a_2} + {x_3}{a_3} = b\).
e. The set Span \(\left\{ {u,v} \right\}\) is always visualized as a plane through the origin.
Suppose \(a,b,c,\) and \(d\) are constants such that \(a\) is not zero and the system below is consistent for all possible values of \(f\) and \(g\). What can you say about the numbers \(a,b,c,\) and \(d\)? Justify your answer.
28. \(\begin{array}{l}a{x_1} + b{x_2} = f\\c{x_1} + d{x_2} = g\end{array}\)
In Exercises 10, write a vector equation that is equivalent tothe given system of equations.
10. \(4{x_1} + {x_2} + 3{x_3} = 9\)
\(\begin{array}{c}{x_1} - 7{x_2} - 2{x_3} = 2\\8{x_1} + 6{x_2} - 5{x_3} = 15\end{array}\)
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 \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}} \right\}\).
