A math quiz from a university course, specifically math 205b. It includes instructions for finding necessary and sufficient conditions for a vector b to be in the span of the column vectors a, verifying conditions, finding values of m and n for a vector d, determining if column vectors are linear combinations of each other, and checking linear independence.

1A. Use the FACT to find any/all conditions on b 1 ,... , b 5 which are necessary and sufficient for b to be in the span of
the column vectors A.
1B. Verify that c 5 does indeed satisfy the conditions in 1A.
1C. Find all values of m and n for which d is in the span of the column vectors A.
1D. Is c 5 a linear combination of the first four column vectors of A? If so, find an explicit LC; if not explain why not.
1E. Is c 1 a linear combination of the last four column vectors of A? If so, find an explicit LC; if not explain why not.
1F. Is the set S = {c 1 ,... , c 5 } linearly independent? Explain using the definition or any theorem weāve discussed.
