2) Given the vectors
Write the system equations here. The first equation is written for you
<== this is to reset the values of c1,c2 and c3. Do not remove these assignments.
Method 2 : Answer the question by using the "given ......find" command to solve the system
c1 u + c2 v + c3 w = t
For comparison, t is displayed here for you
==>
Step 5: Verify your answer: The is, compute c1 u + c2 v + c3 w and compare it with t
Are the constants zeros? Why? ==>
Verify your answer
b) Find the constants c1, c2 and c3 such that c1 v1 + c2 v2 + c3 v3 = 0
Step 6: Compute the row reduced echelon form of A to verify that the rank is as computed by Mathcad
Step 5: Explain why the vectors are linearly dependent or linearly independent

==>
Step 4: Click next to the arrow head and give the definition of the rank of a matrix

==>
Step 3: Use Mathcad rank() command to compute the rank of the matrix A
Step 2: Display the matrix A here ==>
Step 1: Use the augment command to form the matrix A = [ v1 v2 v3]
a) Decide if the vectors are linearly dependent or linearly independent by computing the rank of the matrix A =[v1 v2 v3], then verify the answer by computing the row reduced echelon form of A
==>
Step 1 :Use the augment command to form a matrix M = [t u v w] of the vectors t, u, v and w. For example to augment the vectors t, u, and v we use
a) We know that a set of n+1 vectors in an n-dimensional vector space are linearly dependent Use the row reduced echelon form command (rref () ) in Mathcad to verify that the the vector t, u, v, and w are linearly dependent
