SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the application of basis and vectors in linear algebra, specifically addressing how to express a vector in terms of a given basis. The user is guided to express vector \( v \) as a linear combination of basis vectors \( (1,0,1) \), \( (1,1,0) \), and \( (0,1,1) \) using coordinates \( (x_1, x_2, x_3)^T \). Additionally, the discussion highlights the expression of vector \( w \) as a combination of basis vectors \( v_1, v_2, v_3 \) with specific coefficients. The emphasis is on solving the system of equations to find the coordinates of the vectors.
