  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

what's the question?

#

Find a basis and the dimension of the solutions?

sand nimbus
nocturne kraken
#

so yes

#

what have you tried?

sand nimbus
#

or at least I didnt find

#

and we have done none in class either

nocturne kraken
#

Gauss Jordan is the way to do it

sand nimbus
#

is it the only/easiest way?

nocturne kraken
#

if the coefficient matrix is invertible then you know the solution space is {0}

#

else you have you use Gauss Jordan / any process for solving a system of linear equalities

nocturne kraken
#

yes

sand nimbus
#

cool

#

gimme a sec

nocturne kraken
#

obviously you can use the thing that solves a system to solve a system lol

#

,w RREF{{1,3,-2},{1,-5,3},{2,-1,3}}

#

should get it's row equivalent to identity

nocturne kraken
#

ok

sand nimbus
#

accidentally put x y z instead of x1 x2 and x3 but ye

nocturne kraken
#

ok

sand nimbus
#

now what

nocturne kraken
#

conclude what the dimension and basis is...

#

the solution space is {0}

#

what's the dimension of that subspace

sand nimbus
nocturne kraken
#

no

#

the basis is empty

#

{0} cant be a basis since it's linearly dependent.

sand nimbus
#

uh

nocturne kraken
#

uh

#

use words

sand nimbus
#

I thought you only spoke about linearly dependency when you had more than 1 vector

nocturne kraken
#

nope

#

you talk about it in any set of vectors.

sand nimbus
#

so theres no basis so no dimension?

nocturne kraken
#

the dimension is the cardinality of the basis

#

{} is the basis, so |{}| = 0

#

it's 0 dimensional

sand nimbus
#

uh

#

what does cardinality mean

nocturne kraken
#

number of elements in a (finite) set

sand nimbus
#

so basis is an empty set and dimension is 0?

nocturne kraken
#

yes

#

as I said

sand nimbus
#

cool ty

#

but wait

#

lemme check if the book has the answer on the back

nocturne kraken
#

k

sand nimbus
#

ill keep this open in case I need help w anything else

boreal robinBOT
#

@sand nimbus has given 1 rep to @nocturne kraken

sand nimbus
#

im doing 384, ill send the translation and what i tried

nocturne kraken
#

Not available. But a separate question should have a separate thread

sand nimbus
#

alr sure
