Exercise 1.6.8

Answers

To solve this kind of question, we can write the vectors into a matrix as below and do the Gaussian elimination.

M = ( 2 3 4 5 2 6 9 12 15 6 3 2 7 9 1 2 8 2 2 6 1 1 2 1 3 0 3 18 9 12 1 0 2 3 2 2 1 1 9 7 ) (0 3 8 11 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 13 18 7 0 8 6 8 10 0 1 0 4 5 0 1 6 3 4 1 0 2 3 2 0 1 5 15 11 ) (00 26 20 6 0 0 0 0 0 00 1 4 5 0 0 54 32 22 00 6 7 1 0 1 6 3 4 10 2 3 2 0 0 11 18 7 ) (00 0 124 124 0 0 0 0 0 00 1 4 5 0 0 0 248 248 00 0 31 31 0 1 6 3 4 10 2 3 2 0 0 0 62 62 ) (00 0 124124 0 0 0 0 0 00 1 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 1 6 3 4 10 2 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 )

And the row with all entries 0 can be omitted1 . So {u1,u3,u6,u7} would be the basis for W (the answer here will not be unique).
