Proof involving linear transformation of a set of vectors
Aha! I think I have it. Since T is a linear transformation, T(0)=0, and T(au+ bv+ cw)=aT(u)+bT(v)+cT(w)=0 Since there exists scalars, a, b, c, not all 0, such that the above equation is true, S` is linearly dependent. I can't believe I missed that even after ZioX's advice, guess I...- Lanthanum

Stuck on a possibly simple trig limit
If you factor out the 2 and split the limit into two parts then you have; 2 lim t->0 (t/sint) - lim t->0 (t)- Lanthanum

Proof involving linear transformation of a set of vectors
If p(t) is the linear relationship between the vectors in S, does that mean that T[p(t)] is the linear relationship between the vectors in S`? If so I guess that proves that S` is also linearly dependent since there exists the linear relationship T[p(t)] between its elements.- Lanthanum

Stuck on a possibly simple trig limit
lim x->0 of sinx/x =1, so lim x->0 of 1/(sinx/x) is also 1, and 1/(sinx/x)=x/sinx, so lim x->0 of x/sinx = 1 from here just rearrange the equation.- Lanthanum

Proof involving linear transformation of a set of vectors
Homework Statement Let T:\Re^{n}\rightarrow\Re^{m} and let S={u,v,w}\in\Re^{n}. If S is linearly dependent, show that {T(u), T(v), T(w)} is also linearly dependent. Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution Since S\in\Re^{n} then S`\in\Re^{m}. Not sure where to go from here- Lanthanum

Is the 'star' operation a vector operation for two-dimensional vectors?
It's one of those proofs that's decievingly easy. Start by defining two general vectors; let a=<x1,y1> and b=<x2,y2> where x and y are real.- Lanthanum

How Do You Calculate the Distance from a Point to a Plane Using Cross Product?
What you get in that case is a vector which is normal to both QR and the position vector of P. This is not the same as the normal to the plane containing QR and the point P. Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean here. Nvm, I just realized what Nvm means!- Lanthanum

How Do You Calculate the Distance from a Point to a Plane Using Cross Product?
You need to find a vector normal to the plane. First find two vectors that lie allong the plane. ie. QR and RS; QR=<-5,-2,5> and RS=<10,4,-3> A vector normal to the plane (n) will be normal to both of these. so; n=<-5,-2,5>X<10,4,-3> =<-14,35,0> (you can divide this by 7 cos it will still...- Lanthanum
