The advertising director for Karisma, a chain of four retail stores is considering 3 media possibilities: 1- Ads in the Ahram newspaper, 2- ads in a local UGO trade magazine that is
distributed free to all houses in the city and suburbs, and 3- ads on a

Yourself tools and the advertising director is interested in a total new
customer exposure level of at least 50% within the city and 60% in the
suburbs. Each TV ad has a new-customer exposure level of 5% in the
city and 3% in the northwest suburbs. The newspaper ads have
corresponding exposure levels per ad of 3.5% and 3%, while the trade
magazine has corresponding exposure levels per ad of 0.5% and 1%.
The relevant costs are $1000 per newspaper ad, $300 per trade
magazine ad, and $2000 per TV ad.all 3 types of media
are used, Karizma would like to ensure that no single medium
consumes more than 45% of the total amount spent.(newspapers ads = 9, magazine ads = 30, TV = 1, Cost$20,000)

Show that the set W = {(x 1 , x 2, x3, x4):
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 0) is a subspace of R4.
Verify that (1, —1, 1, —1) and (1, 0, 0, —1)
are in W. Find a basis of W containing
(1,-1, 1, —1) and (1, 0, 0, —1).
