Linear Algebra Examples

Determine if the Vector is in the Span of the Set
S={[11],[1-1]}S={[11],[11]} , v=[-13]v=[13]
Step 1
S={[11],[1-1]}S={[11],[11]}
v=[-13]v=[13]
Assign the set the name SS and the vector the name vv.
Step 2
Set up a linear relation to see if there is a non-trivial solution to the system.
a[11]+b[1-1]=[-13]a[11]+b[11]=[13]
Step 3

Step 3.2
Write as an augmented matrix for Ax=[-13]Ax=[13].
[11-11-13][111113]
Step 3.3
Perform the row operation R2=R2-R1R2=R2R1 to make the entry at 2,12,1 a 00.

Step 3.3.1
Perform the row operation R2=R2-R1R2=R2R1 to make the entry at 2,1 a 0.
[11-11-1-1-13+1]
Step 3.3.2
Simplify R2.
[11-10-24]
[11-10-24]
Step 3.4
Multiply each element of R2 by -12 to make the entry at 2,2 a 1.

Step 3.4.1
Multiply each element of R2 by -12 to make the entry at 2,2 a 1.
[11-1-120-12-2-124]
Step 3.4.2
Simplify R2.
[11-101-2]
[11-101-2]
Step 3.5
Perform the row operation R1=R1-R2 to make the entry at 1,2 a 0.
Tap for more steps...
Step 3.5.1
Perform the row operation R1=R1-R2 to make the entry at 1,2 a 0.
[1-01-1-1+201-2]
Step 3.5.2
Simplify R1.
[10101-2]
[10101-2]
[10101-2]
Step 4
Since the resulting system is consistent, the vector is an element of the set.
