Click For Summary
The discussion centers on verifying that the set β, consisting of the vectors [0, 2] and [3, 1], forms a basis for R². It is established that these vectors are linearly independent and span R². The user then sets up an equation to express the vector v = [6, 8] as a linear combination of the basis vectors, leading to the augmented matrix solution. The final result shows that the coordinates of v in the basis β are [v]β = [3, 2]. The notation [v]β is clarified as representing the coordinates of vector v in the specified basis.

Verify that
$\beta=\left\{\begin{bmatrix}
0\\2
\end{bmatrix}
,\begin{bmatrix}
3\\1
\end{bmatrix}\right\}$
is a basis for $\Bbb{R}^2$
Then for $v=\left[
\begin{array}{c}6\\8\end{array}
\right]$, find $[v]_\beta$
ok, I presume next is
$c_1\begin{bmatrix}
0\\2
\end{bmatrix}
+c_2\begin{bmatrix}
3\\1
\end{bmatrix}= \left[
\begin{array}{c}6\\8\end{array}
\right]$
by augmented matrix we get (the book did this?)
$\left[ \begin{array}{cc|c} 0 & 3 & 6 \\ 2 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]
=\left[ \begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & 0 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array} \right]$
hence
$[v]_{\beta}=\left[
\begin{array}{c}3\\2\end{array}
\right]$
following an example I don't think I understand the notation of $[v]_{\beta}$
 
Physics news on Phys.org
$[v]_\beta$ denotes the coordinates of vector $v$ in basis $\beta$.

Could you say from which textbook this notation is taken?

Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
