Vector equation

Let’s v = (1, 2, 1), u = (0, -1, 3) and w = (1, 0, 7) . Solve the vector equation c1 v + c2 u + c3 w = 0 for variables c1 c2, c3 and decide weather v, u and w are linear dependent or independent

Result

c1 : (Correct answer is: ) OK
c2 = 2 c1
c3 = -c1

Step-by-step explanation:

c1 1+c2 0+c3 1 =0 c1 2+c2 (1)+c3 0 =0 c1 1+c2 3+c3 7 =0  c1 + c3 = 0 2 c1  c2 = 0 c1 + 3 c2 + 7 c3 = 0  c1=any c2=2 c1 c1=c3=c1
c2=2 c1
c3=c1
