If possible, express w⃗ as a linear combination of the vectors v1⃗  , v2⃗  and v3⃗  . Otherwise, enter DNE. For example, the
answer w⃗  = 4v1⃗  + 5v2⃗  + 6v3⃗  would be entered 4v1 + 5v2 + 6v3 .

w⃗  = -v1-5v2-3v3

−5 5 −20
⎡ ⎤
Let A = ⎢ −4 8 −20 ⎥ .
⎣ ⎦
−2 0 −6

We want to determine if the equation Ax = b has a solution for all b .

To do that we row reduce A .

To do this we add -4/5 times the first row to the second.

We then add -2/5 times the first row to the third.

We then add 1 times the new second row to the new third row.

We conclude that

A. The equation does not have a solution for all b .

B. The equation has a solution for all b .

C. We cannot tell if the equation has a solution for all b or not.

⎡ ⎤

Let A = ⎢ −1 −3 −12 ⎥ .
⎣ ⎦

We want to determine if the columns of matrix A and are linearly independent. To do that we row reduce A .

To do this we add -1/6 times the first row to the second.

We then add 1/6 times the first row to the third.

We then add 3/4 times the new second row to the new third row.

We conclude that

A. The columns of A are linearly dependent.

B. The columns of A are linearly independent.

C. We cannot tell if the columns of A are linearly independent or not.
