UPDATE: I've corrected an error on the Wiley-PLUS assignment for this week. I removed the problem I mistakenly assigned from Section 7.9 and replaced it with a problem from Section 7.8.

UPDATE: There is no written assignment due this week. There was some wording on the assignment page that seemed to contradict this, but I've changed that now.

21-260: Exam #1 Solutions

I've posted solutions to the first mid-term exam. They are in the Course Documents section of the Blackboard site.

question 7.27 part c

Just to clarify what was said in class today, I said to rewrite the equation

c1*u + c2*v = 0

into

a*(something_1) + b*(something_2)=0

Since something_1 and something_2 are both functions of t (a variable), you can pick any t_0 (a constant) and plug it for t so that something_1 and something_2 become constants. I mentioned that you should make a smart choice for t_0 so algebraically the problem becomes simpler. The important thing is that you can pick ANY VALUE for t_0. After making some choice for t_0, if you find that c1=c2=0, then it follows that u and v are linearly independent.
