If we prove that x3 is in hyper plane, then we can prove that hyper plane is a convex set.

) from the definition of Hyper Plane.

We know that Then we can re-write

as:

and this equals to

So we have proved that Therefore x3 which is the convex combination of x1 and x2, is in hyper plane. So every hyper plane is convex. Proof 2: Any subspace is a convex cone Definition of subspace: Definition of cone: A set of : cone must contain the origin. is a subspace when is a cone when and for all and . Any

so

From the definition of convex set If we give the values of s endpoints to If ( ) = y and we know

( ) = x and we know If ( ) So we have proved that and all subspaces includes (0,0), then all subspace is a convex cone. 1

So by solving three equations we get: So, we can tell that all can have infinitive values. So there exists a non-trivial solution which implies linear dependence. [ ][ ] [ ]

Since these vectors (a1,a2,a3) are linearly dependent; b=(b1,b2,b3) cannot be written as a linear combination of these 3 vectors. So there is at least one vector from R3 that is not contained in span(a1,a2,a3) and so the span of these 3 vectors will not be all of R3. They dont span in R3 2.4 Definition of basis: A collection of vectors a1, a2,..,ak forms a basis of Rn if k=n and a1, a2,..,ak are linearly independent. [ ] [ ] [ ]

We now know these vectors are linearly independent, and k=3, n=3 so k=n. This implies that these vectors form a basis in R3. If a2 is replaced by the vector [ independent [ 1) 2) 3) So by solving three equations we get: . So there exists a trivial solution which implies linear independence. Since they are still linearly independent, and there is no chance on k=n, so we can say that they still form a basis in R3. 2.9 ] [ ] [ ] [ ] ] we should check whether these vectors are still linearly

Since det A is different then 0, then this matrix has an inverse. I will take the inverse of this matrix by elementary row operations:
