How many vectors are in {a₁, a₂, a3}? b. Is b in W? How many vectors are in W? c. Show that a2 is in W. [Hint: Row operations are unnecessary.] a. Is b in {a₁, a2, a3}? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. ○ A. No, b is not in {a₁, a2, 3} since it cannot be generated by a linear combination of a₁, a2, and a3. B. No, b is not in (a1, a2, a3} since b is not equal to a₁, a2, or a3. C. Yes, b is in (a1, a2, a3} since b = a (Type a whole number.) D. Yes, b is in (a1, a2, 3} since, although b is not equal to a₁, a2, or a3, it can be expressed as a linear combination of them. In particular, b = + + ☐ az. (Simplify your answers.)arrow_forward14 14 4. The graph shows the printing rate of Printer A. Printer B can print at a rate of 25 pages per minute. How does the printing rate for Printer B compare to the printing rate for Printer A? The printing rate for Printer B is than the rate for Printer A because the rate of 25 pages per minute is than the rate of for Printer A. pages per minute RIJOUT 40 fy Printer Rat Number of Pages 8N WA 10 30 20 Printer A 0 0 246 Time (min) Xarrow_forward
