Study Notes

Vector Theorems

  • Theorem states that for any vectors u, v, and w, addition is both commutative and associative:
    • (u + v) + w = u + (v + w)
    • u + v = v + u

Linear Combination

  • A linear combination involves scalars c1, c2,..., cM from the real numbers (R) and vectors u1, u2,..., uM from Rⁿ.
  • It is expressed as:
    • c1u1 + c2u2 + ... + cMuM

Span

  • Given vectors u1, u2,..., uM in Rⁿ, their span includes all possible linear combinations formed by these vectors.
  • Mathematically represented as:
    • span(u1, u2,..., uM) = {λ1u1, λ2u2,..., λMuM | λ1, λ2,..., λM ∈ R}

General Theorem for Vectors

  • A general theorem applies to vectors u1, u2,..., uM existing in Rⁿ, concerning their properties and relationships within a vector space.
