Concept explainers

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Assume {u1, U2, u3, u4} does not span R³. Select the best statement. A. {u1, U2, u3} spans R³ if u̸4 is a linear combination of other vectors in the set. B. 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. If a set of vectors includes the zero vector 0, then there is no reasonable way to determine if the set of vectors spans Rn. E. If a set of vectors includes the zero vector 0, then the set of vectors cannot span Rn. F. none of the above
