Question

Consider two vectors: 

The given text involves two vectors defined as follows:

\[ w_1 = \beta \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \quad w_2 = \begin{pmatrix} \alpha \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} \]

where \(\alpha \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\beta \in \mathbb{R}\).

The questions posed are:

(a) Give an expression for \(w_1^T w_2\).

(b) Does the linear independence of these vectors depend on \(\beta\)?

(c) Are there any values of \(\alpha\) for which these vectors form a basis?
