Find linear combinations of a=(2,2,4,0) b=(2,-1,3,1) c=(2,1,1,1) to form the vectors (1,0,3,0) and (0,1,0,2).
Maths puzzle involving vectors?
2a+2b+2c=1
therefore a+b+c=1 eq1
2a-b+c=1 eq2
b+c=2 eq3
substitute b+c=2 into eq1
a+2=1
a=-1
4a+3b+c=3 eq4
-4+3b+c=3
3b+c=7
we also know b+c=2
use these 2 eq to solve for b+7-3b=2
2b=5
b=2.5,c=-0.5
therefore the linear combination is -a+2.5b-0.5c
