Problem 4E

Chapter:
Problem:
Find the vector × determined by the given coordinate vector and the given basis .

Step-by-Step Solution

Given Information
We have to find the vector x determined by the given coordinate vector ${\left[ x \right]_B}$ and the given basis B. \[ B = \left\{ \left[ \begin{array} { l } { 4 } \\ { 5 } \end{array} \right] , \left[ \begin{array} { l } { 6 } \\ { 7 } \end{array} \right] \right\} , [ { x } ] _ { B } = \left[ \begin{array} { c } { 8 } \\ { - 5 } \end{array} \right] \]

Step-1: The vector x
The vector x can be found by product of basis and given coordinate vector \[ \begin{aligned} { x } & = 8 \left[ \begin{array} { l } { 4 } \\ { 5 } \end{array} \right] - 5 \left[ \begin{array} { l } { 6 } \\ { 7 } \end{array} \right] \\ & = \left[ \begin{array} { c } { 32 } \\ { 40 } \end{array} \right] - \left[ \begin{array} { c } { 30 } \\ { 35 } \end{array} \right] \\ & = \left[ \begin{array} { l } { 2 } \\ { 5 } \end{array} \right] \end{aligned} \] Therefore the required vector is,

The basis for the H is \[{\bf{x}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} 2\\ 5 \end{array}} \right]\]
