1.2 Section Summary
The equation that we obtained, 7x+ 17y- 2z = 0, is called a Cartesian equation for this
plane. Thus, we can summarize this Example by saying:
The Span of a non-empty set of vectors S = {v1, v2, ..., v} from R" is the set of all possible
linear combinations of the vectors in the set. We write:
If i = (3,-1, 2), and v = (-4, 2, 3), then:
Span(S) = Span({vi, v2, ..., va} )
Span({i, v}) is the plane with Cartesian equation: 7x + 17y – 2z = 0.0
= {xiv1 +x2v2 + ...+xVk |X1, x2, ..., x e R}.
We note that the individual vectors v1, v2, ..., V are all members of Span(S), where we let
X; = 1 and all the other coefficients 0 in order to produce v. Similarly, the zero vector 0, is
also a member of Span(S), where we make all the coefficients zero to produce 0,.
We generalize this Example in the following:
Definition – Axiom for a Plane in Cartesian Space:
If i and v are vectors in R3 that are not parallel to each other, then Span({ủ, v}) is
geometrically a plane II in Cartesian space that passes through the origin. It has a
Cartesian equation, of the form:
1.2.1: In any R": Span ({0,}) = {0,}.
1.2.2: For all vi, v2, ..., Vk e R": Span ({0n, V1, v2, ..., V}) = Span ({v1, v2, .., va }).
ax + by + cz = 0,
If v e R" is a non-zero vector, then Span({v}) is geometrically a line L in R" passing through
the origin.
for some constants, a, b and c, where at least one coefficient is non-zero.
In particular, if we write v = (a, b, c) e R³, then L = Span({v}) has vector equation:
The letter II is the capital form of the lowercase Greek letter t.
In other words, there exist scalars a, b, and c, not all zero, such that:
(x, y, z) = t(a, b, c), where t e R.
(x, y, z) e Span({i, v}) if and only if ax + by + cz = 0.
This can be rewritten into parametric equations:
x = at, y = bt, and z = ct, where t e R.
1.2.3: If i andv are non-zero and parallel vectors from some R", then:
Span({i, v}) = Span({v}) = Span({ū}),
which is still a line L passing through the origin.
1.2.4: If i, v e R² are non-parallel vectors, then: Span({ủ, v}) = R².
In other words, any vector w = (x, y) e R2 can be expressed as a linear combination:
w = rủ + sv, for some scalarsr and s.
The Span of Two Non-Parallel Vectors in R3 is a Plane Through the Origin
Axiom for a Plane in Cartesian Space:
If i and v are vectors in R3 that are not parallel to each other, then Span({i, }) is
geometrically a plane II in Cartesian space that passes through the origin. It has a Cartesian
equation, in the form:
The Cartesian equation of a plane in R3 is not unique. In our Example, the Cartesian equation:
- 21x – 5ly + 6z = 0
ax + by + cz = 0,
will represent exactly the same plane 7x+ 17y- 2z = 0, since we multiply the original
equation by -3 to get the new equation. Since we can do this with any non-zero scalar, there
are an infinite number of Cartesian equations for this plane.
for some constants, a, b and c, where at least one coefficient is non-zero.
In other words, there exist scalars a, b, and c, not all zero, such that a vector
(x, y, z) e Span({ū,v}) if and only if ax + by + cz = 0.
