Explanation of Solution

Determining the dependency of the given sets of vectors:

Consider the given sets of vectors,

V={[2 1 0], [1 2 0], [3 3 1]}

A matrix A is formed as given below; whose rows are the above given vectors:

A=[2 1 01 2 03 3 1]

The Gauss-Jordan method is applied to find the dependency of the above given sets of vectors.

Replace row 1 by (12(row 1)), then the following matrix is obtained,

[1 12 01 2 03 3 1]

Now, replace row 2 by (row 2 – row 1), then the following matrix is obtained,

[1 12 00 32 03 3 1]

Now, replace row 3 by (row 3 – 3 (row 1)), then the following matrix is obtained,

[1 12 00 32 00 32 1]

Bu = ƒ and Cu = f might be solvable even though B and C are singular. Show that every vector f = Bu has ƒ1 + ƒ2+ ……. +fn = 0. Physical meaning: the external forces balance. Linear algebra meaning: Bu = ƒ is solvable when ƒ is perpendicular to the all – ones column vector   e = (1, 1, 1, 1…) = ones (n, 1).
