    Can More Vectors Than Dimensions Be Linearly Independent?

    the equations correspond to the matrix which has to be reduced to give the coefficients for each vector, such that their sum is zero, if the system is linearly independent other than that, ill post again later when i can wrap my head around what you said at the end haha edit: what i meant in...

    Can More Vectors Than Dimensions Be Linearly Independent?

    Homework Statement prove, if S has m vectors in n dimensions and S is linearly independent, then n>=m Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution so far I've come up with: there is no combination of vectors in S such that their sum is the zero vector, there exists a vector...

    Find all ordered pair of integers for a diophantine equation

    @dick if i complete the square i get (x-2)^2+(y-sqrt(2))^2=6 i have no idea what to do from there @ehild x(x-4)=0 when y=0 or y=2 y(2-y)=0 when x=0 or x=4 so (0, 0) is one pair y(2-y)=x(x-4) LS is +ve when 2>y>0 RS is +ve when x>4 LS is -ve when y>2 or y<0 RS is -ve when x<4 there are...

    Find all ordered pair of integers for a diophantine equation

    Homework Statement find all orderde pairs of integers (x,y) such that x^2+y^2=4x+2y Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution rearrange to--> x^2=4x+2y-y^2 because x and y can only be integers, y(2-y) must be divisible by x so y(2-y)>=x y(2-y)=x(x-4) x(x-4)>=x x-4>=1 x>=5...

    Can 4/3(sin theta) = theta be algebraically solved?

    http://www.freeexampapers.us/IB/Maths/Higher/2007%20May/mathsHL_May07_Markscheme_MathematicsHLpaper1TZ1.pdf my question is from that exam, question 5. in the marking scheme they go through what i mentioned in my original post to the solution.

    Can 4/3(sin theta) = theta be algebraically solved?

    those above steps imo are unnecessary, all i need to know is how to solve 4/3(sin theta)=theta, thanks in advance!

    Finding the Vector Equation of a Line at Right Angles: A Homework Challenge

    it does not give me the vectors to the line... there are an infinite number of possible normals to the original line

    Finding the Vector Equation of a Line at Right Angles: A Homework Challenge

    i don't know if this makes sense, but i tried to first came up with an expression for the vector i am trying to find 4-(11+3t), 5-(-8+t), 5-(4+t) (starting point of the vector subtract a point on the line) then using dot product equation, i isolated t to -7/11 is there anything flawed...

    Finding the Vector Equation of a Line at Right Angles: A Homework Challenge

    it was a question from a test that i got 0 on, the exact wording is as follows: find a vector equ ation of the line through the point (4,5,5) that meets the line (x-11)/3=(y+8)/1=(z-4)/1 at right angles i understand that the dot product of the vector i have to find and of the line given will...

    How can I find the value of k for the intersection of 3 planes to form a line?

    thank you. i have another question: find a vector equation of the line through the point 4,5,5 that meets the line: (x-11)/3=y+8=z-4 i don't even know where to start on this one. perhaps i do the same thing as before? find the vector between 4,5,5 and the point on the line when t=0...
