Chapter 8: Q24E (page 437)
Find an example in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) to show that equality need not hold in the statement of Exercise 23.
It is proved that \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} \left( {A \cup B} \right) \ne {\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} A \cup {\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} B\).

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 \({\bf{u}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}\end{array}} \right)\) and \({\bf{p}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right)\). Find points \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}\) such that the solution set of \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) is \({\bf{aff}}\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}},\,{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}} \right\}\).
Question 4: Repeat Exercise 2 where \(m\) is the minimum value of \(f\) on \(S\) instead of the maximum value.
Question: 17. Choose a set \(S\) of three points such that aff \(S\) is the plane in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) whose equation is \({x_3} = 5\). Justify your work.
Explain why a cubic Bezier curve is completely determined by \({\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \left( 0 \right)\), \(x'\left( 0 \right)\), \({\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \left( 1 \right)\), and \(x'\left( 1 \right)\).
In Exercises 9 and 10, mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
10.a. If \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p}} \right\}\) is an affinely dependent set in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), then the set \(\left\{ {{{\overline {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} }_1},...,{{\overline {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} }_p}} \right\}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^{n + 1}}\) of homogeneous forms may be linearly independent.
b. If \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _4}\) are in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) and if the set \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2} - {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3} - {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _4} - {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}} \right\}\) is linearly independent, then \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _4}} \right\}\) is affinely independent.
c. Given \(S = \left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} _k}} \right\}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), each \({\bf{p}}\) in\({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} S\) has a unique representation as an affine combination of \({{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} _k}\).
d. When color information is specified at each vertex \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}\) of a triangle in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\), then the color may be interpolated at a point p in \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} \left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _4}} \right\}\) using the barycentric coordinates of p.
e. If T is a triangle in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) and if a point p is on edge of the triangle, then the barycentric coordinates of p (for this triangle) are not all positive.
