Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

We do not have sufficient information to determine whether {u₁, u2, u3} spans R³. C. {U1, U2, u3} spans R³ if u̸4 is a scalar multiple of another vector in the set. D. {u1, U2, u3} cannot span R³. E. {U1, U2, u3} spans R³ if u̸4 is the zero vector. F. none of the above

Select the best statement. A. If a set of vectors includes the zero vector 0, then the set of vectors can span R^ as long as the other vectors are distinct. n B. If a set of vectors includes the zero vector 0, then the set of vectors spans R precisely when the set with 0 excluded spans Rª. ○ C. If a set of vectors includes the zero vector 0, then the set of vectors can span Rn as long as it contains n vectors. ○ D.
