    Vecor Spaces and Linear Combinations

    Let V be the space of all functions from R to R. It was stated in the discussion session that this is a vector space over R Let F be a field, V a vector space over F, and v1,...,vk vectors in V. Prove that the set Span({v1, ..., vk}) is closed under scalar multiplication. 1. Label the following statements as true or false

    Vertex of a Parabola

    A football is thrown, by a quarterback, to a receiver 40 yards away. The formula y = -0.025x^2 + x + 5 models the football's height above the ground, y, in feet, when it is x yards from the quarterback. How many yards from the quarterback does the football reach its greatest height? What is that height? keywords : find,

    Vector spaces and proof of theorem

    Let V be a vector space over an infinite field F. Prove that V cannot be written as the set-theoretic union of a finite number of proper subspaces. I know that I should use proof by contradiction to prove this statement, but need help from there.

    Example of a quadratic model

    QUADRATIC MODELING: You will need to locate data that can be modeled using a quadratic function. Keep in mind that good candidates for quadratic models have data that both increases and decreases. Once again, I encourage you to use either online or print resources, and I would also refer you to the textbook website which has

    Period of a vector function

    I need assistance finding the period of a vector valued function. The function is of the form cos^2(2T)+Sin^2(3t) + cos(2t-pi/2) I remember doing something like this back in pre calc where the period was 2pi/b but the functions were not vectors. How would I proceed from here? Any help is appreciated.
