Consider the following two matrices \(A \in R^{3 \times 3}\) and \( B \in R^{3 \times 3} \), which consist of real numbers:
What properties do we need to show all \(3 \times 3\) matrices of real numbers form a vector space.
Demonstrate these properties using sympy as was done in the video.
Determine whether \(A\) is a linear combination of \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\)?
\[\begin{split} A=
\left[
\begin{matrix}
7 & 6 \\
-5 & -3
\end{matrix}
\right],
B=
\left[
\begin{matrix}
3 & 0 \\
1 & 1
\end{matrix}
\right],
C=
\left[
\begin{matrix}
0 & 1 \\
3 & 4
\end{matrix}
\right],
D=
\left[
\begin{matrix}
1 & 2 \\
0 & 1
\end{matrix}
\right]
\end{split} \nonumber \]
Write a basis for all \(2 \times 3\) matrices and give the dimension of the space.
