Explain the meanings of the terms linearly dependent and coplanar. Make sure you demonstrate that you understand the difference between the terms, and the situation in which linear dependency implies coplanarity.
Three of the best-selling albums of 2013 were Justin Timberlake's The 20120 Experience, Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP2, and Imagine Dragons' Night Visions. Eminem's album sold 0.33 million more copies than Imagine Dragons'. The number of Justin Timberlake albums sold was 0.37 million less than twice the number of Imagine Dragons' sales. The three recording artists sold a total of 5.56 million albums. How many albums did each artist sell?
a) Check whether the following system of equations has a solution.
x+y+3z+w = 5
−x+y+z−5w = 7
x+2y+5z−w = 5 (6)
b) Let T : P2 → P1 be defined by
T(a+bx+cx2
) = b+c+ (a−c)x.
Check that T is a linear transformation. Find the matrix of the transformation with
respect to the ordered bases B1 = {x
2
, x
2 +x, x
2 +x+1} and B2 = {1, x}. Find the
kernel of T.
The admission fee at an amusement park is $ 1.50 for children and $ 4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 299 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $936 . How many children and how many adults were admitted?
) Let V = R
2
. Define addition + on V by (x1, y1) + (x2, y2) = (x1 +x2, y1 +y2) and
scalar multiplication · by r·(a,b) = (ra,0). Check whether V satisfies all the
conditions for it to be a vector space over R with respect to these operations.
