1.(4,2,1)=a(0,2,1)+b(2,1,1)+c(1,3,-1)
(4,2,1)=(0a+2b+c,2a+b+3c,a+b-c)
Using Cramer's rule,
A=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C%0D%0A0%2C2%2C1%2C%0D%0A2%2C1%2C3%2C%0D%0A1%2C1%2C-1%29%29
abs%28A%29=11

A%5Ba%5D=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C%0D%0A4%2C2%2C1%2C%0D%0A2%2C1%2C3%2C%0D%0A1%2C1%2C-1%29%29
abs%28A%5Ba%5D%29=-5

A%5Bb%5D=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C%0D%0A0%2C4%2C1%2C%0D%0A2%2C2%2C3%2C%0D%0A1%2C1%2C-1%29%29
abs%28A%5Bb%5D%29=20

A%5Bc%5D=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C%0D%0A0%2C2%2C4%2C%0D%0A2%2C1%2C2%2C%0D%0A1%2C1%2C1%29%29
abs%28A%5Bc%5D%29=4

a=abs%28A%5Ba%5D%29%2Fabs%28A%29=-5%2F11
b=abs%28A%5Bb%5D%29%2Fabs%28A%29=20%2F11
c=abs%28A%5Bc%5D%29%2Fabs%28A%29=4%2F11
So then,
(4,2,1)=(-5/11)*(0,2,1)+(20/11)*(2,1,1)+(4/11)*(1,3,-1)

2.i) abs%28V%5B1%5D%29=sqrt%280%5E2%2B%28-4%29%5E2%2B7%5E2%29
ii) V[1]+V[2]=(0+3,-4-2,7-1)=(3,-6,6)
iii)abs%28V%5B1%5D%2BV%5B2%5D%29=sqrt%283%5E2%2B%28-6%29%5E2%2B6%5E2%29
iv) Use the dot product,
V%5B1%5D%2AV%5B2%5D=0%2A3%2B%28-4%29%28-2%29%2B7%28-1%29=8-7=1
cos%28theta%29=%28V%5B1%5D%2AV%5B2%5D%29%2F%28abs%28V%5B1%5D%29abs%28V%5B2%5D%29%29
abs%28V%5B2%5D%29=sqrt%283%5E2%2B%28-2%29%5E2%2B%28-1%29%5E2%29
Plug in the values to get the answer.
v) From previous, V%5B1%5D%2AV%5B2%5D=1
vi)

V%5B1%5DxV%5B2%5D=%28matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A18%2C21%2C12%29%29
