Theorem: The product of any even integer and n is any odd integer is even.
“Proof: Suppose m is any even integer and n is any odd integer. If
Where r is an integer. By definition of even, then, m.n is even, as was to be shown.”

Is b in {a1, a2, a3}? 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_forward
