LINEAR ALGEBRA (Part-5) - Linear Dependence
LINEAR ALGEBRA (Part-5) Linear Dependence Coefficient It is a scalar number used to multiply a variable. Like 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient. Linear Combination If we take a set of matrices then multiply each of them by a scalar/coefficient and add all of them together then the resultant matrix is a linear combination of the set of matrices. Note that all the matrices involved in a linear combination need to have the same dimension (otherwise matrix addition would not be possible). Let's consider n number of matrices A 1 ,A 2 ,......,A n . all has same dimensions. Lets also consider n scalars/coefficients α 1 ,α 2 ,......,α n So, linear combination B will be B = α 1 A 1 + α 2 A 2 + ...... + α n A n Let's see few ways of calculation linear Combination / coefficients. Way 1 Holding the equation, B = α 1 A 1 + α 2 A 2 + ...... + α n A n . We conside...
