How would you write something like x-y+z=1 as a vector?












1












$begingroup$


Specifically, the question is asking me to prove whether or not the collection of vectors [x,y,z] in R3 forms a subspace of R3 or not. The numbers for one question of this were z=2x and y = 3x. This is easy enough to understand because I can write a vector all in terms of x and see if the properties of a subspace hold for that generalized vector.



But how might I write x-y+z=1 as a vector? The best I can do is write one variable as two of the others, but that doesn't get me anywhere. Is there something I'm missing?



Sorry if this is a stupid question, any help is appreciated.

    As @Yanko says, the question asked is "Do the vectors $(x, y, z)$ satisfying $x - y + z = 1$ form a vector space $V$"? To do this, you should look at things like, suppose, $(x_1, y_1, z_1) in V$ and $(x_2, y_2, z_2) in V$, is $(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2, z_1 + z_2) in V$, using the definition of $V$. Similarly the other axioms of vector spaces should also be checked.

Writing the set of all $x,y,z$ such that $x+y+z=1$ as a vector makes no sense mathematically. But I believe you mean the following:



$${[x,y,z]inmathbb{R}^3: x+y+z=1} = { [x,y,1-x-y] : x,y,zinmathbb{R}}$$



Now we can write $[x,y,1-x-y]$ as $[x,0,-x]+[0,y,-y]+[0,0,1]$. In other words you have that



$${[x,y,z]inmathbb{R}^3: x+y+z=1} = {[0,0,1]+xcdot [1,0,-1] + ycdot [0,1,-1] : x,yinmathbb{R}}$$



This is a simple form of the given set which I believe is what you meant by "writing $x+y+z=1$ as a vector". From this expression it might be easier to deduce that the set is not a subspace of $mathbb{R}$.

Writing the set of all $x,y,z$ such that $x+y+z=1$ as a vector makes no sense mathematically. But I believe you mean the following:



$${[x,y,z]inmathbb{R}^3: x+y+z=1} = { [x,y,1-x-y] : x,y,zinmathbb{R}}$$



Now we can write $[x,y,1-x-y]$ as $[x,0,-x]+[0,y,-y]+[0,0,1]$. In other words you have that



$${[x,y,z]inmathbb{R}^3: x+y+z=1} = {[0,0,1]+xcdot [1,0,-1] + ycdot [0,1,-1] : x,yinmathbb{R}}$$



This is a simple form of the given set which I believe is what you meant by "writing $x+y+z=1$ as a vector". From this expression it might be easier to deduce that the set is not a subspace of $mathbb{R}$.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
