A math assignment for a university course, math 315. The assignment includes several problems related to vector spaces and linear equations. The first problem asks to prove that a given subset of vectors is dependent using vector space properties and properties of real numbers. The second problem asks to solve a system of linear equations to show that a given vector belongs to the span of certain vectors. The third problem involves finding the reduced echelon form of a matrix and identifying the pivot variables and solution set. The fourth problem asks to write down all possible reduced echelon forms for a 3x3 matrix. Likely to be useful for university students taking a linear algebra or vector calculus course.

Let X , Y , Z and W be elements belonging to some vector space V. Suppose that these vectors satisfy the relations 2X = Y + Z and W = X + Y. Prove that {Y, Z, W } is a dependent subset of V.
∏æ
(a) Write down the system of equations that has the given matrix as its augmented matrix. Also, write down the coefficient matrix for this system.
(b) Find the reduced echelon form (RREF) for the augmented matrix. Show all of your row opera- tions.
(c) Use the RREF to identify the pivot columns. Which variables in your system are the pivot variables?
(d) Write down the solution set of the system in vector form, showing the translation vector and the spanning vector(s).
