Let S={v1, v2, v3}where v1^T=[1 0] v2^T=[0 1] v3^T=[-1 1]
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Find every subset of S that is a basis for R^2.
\n" ); document.write( "BASIS DEMANDS 2 THINGS...
\n" ); document.write( "1. THEY SHOULD BE LINMEARLY INDEPENDENT
\n" ); document.write( "2.THEY SHOULD SPAN THE ENTIRE SPACE.
\n" ); document.write( "FOR FOR 2 DIMENSIONS (R^2)THERE WILL BE 2 AND ONLY 2 INDEPENDENT VECTORS WHICH SATISFY BOTH THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS.HENCE WE NEED TO FIND ONLY SUBSETS OF 2 ELEMENTS...THEY COULD BE
\n" ); document.write( "1...V1V2....OR.....2..V1V3....OR.....3...V2V3
\n" ); document.write( "FOR TESTING INDEPENTNESS AND SPANNING THE ENTIRE SPACE HERE WE ONLY NEED TO CHECK INDEPENTNESS AS THEN IN R^2 , 2 INDEPENDENT VECTORS WILL CERAINLY SPAN THE ENTIRE SPACE.
\n" ); document.write( "1.V1V2,,,
\n" ); document.write( "LET AV1+BV2=0
\n" ); document.write( "A(1,0)+B(0,1)=0
\n" ); document.write( "THIS CAN HAPPEN ONLY WHEN A=B=0..SO THEY ARE INDEPENDENT...HENCE THIS IS A BASIS.
\n" ); document.write( "2.V1V3
\n" ); document.write( "A(1,0)+B(-1,1)=0...THIS ALSO GIVES A=B=0...SO THEY ARE INDEPENDENT...HENCE THIS IS A BASIS.
\n" ); document.write( "3.V2V3
\n" ); document.write( "A(0,1)+B(-1,1)=0.....ALSO GIVES A=B=0...SO THEY ARE INDEPENDENT...HENCE THIS IS A BASIS.
\n" ); document.write( "SO ALL 3 SUBSETS CAN FORM A BASIS IN R^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I have the matrix
\n" ); document.write( "[1 0 -1 0]
\n" ); document.write( "[0 1 1 0]
\n" ); document.write( "where x1-x3=0 and x2+x3=o and one basis of {v1, v2} but I don't know where to go from there.
