3. Show that the basis vectors are linearly independent
4. Given a vector w, state the condition for the vector w to be a solution of the system.
w will be a solution to the system if the nonhomogenous system
has a unique solution. The solution will be unique since the basis vectors are linearly independent.
5 Let
Show whether w is a solution to the system or not.
6. If w were a solution, can you express it as a different linear combination of the basis vectors? Why?
No. w can be written as a linear combination of the basis in one and only one way since the basis vectors are linearly independent.
