Fred promises to give Jean a unique sculpture in exchange for Jean painting Nick’s house, but instead, Fred sells the sculpture to Cloe before Jean begins the job; this act by Fred constitutes  ________________________ which excuses Jean from performing. Once the sculpture has left Fred’s possession, there is no way that Fred can fulfill the promise to give the sculpture to Jean.  

Dr. Patel just finished an appointment with Horace, who shared he has been suffering from mysterious symptoms that lab reports showed to be a sexually transmitted disease.  Dr. Patel retells Horace’s story during her lunch break in the hospital cafeteria “Can you believe this charmer?  This is Horace Smith’s third STD in the past year!  Avoid him on Tinder.” Which of the following is most accurate based on the facts above?

Let $$B = \{ \vec{b}_1, \vec{b}_2 \}$$ and $$C = \{ \vec{c}_1, \vec{c}_2 \}$$ be bases for a vector space V, and suppose $$\vec{b}_1 = \begin{bmatrix}&2\\&3\end{bmatrix}$$ , $$\vec{b}_2 = \begin{bmatrix}&6\\&7\end{bmatrix} $$, $$\vec{c}_1 =\begin{bmatrix}&2\\&5\end{bmatrix}$$, and $$\vec{c}_2 = \begin{bmatrix}&4\\&2\end{bmatrix}$$.   a) Find the change-of-coordinate matrix from $B$ to $C$.   b) Using part a) Find the change-of-coordinate matrix from C to B.   c) Let $$[\vec{x}]_{C} = \begin{bmatrix}&1\\&\frac{1}{2}\end{bmatrix}$$. Find $$[\vec{x}]_{B}$$.  

Solve the following equation for x: 7x – 6 = 1

The two parts of this problem are independent.   a) Show that if $$||\vec{u}-\vec{v}||^2 = ||\vec{u}+\vec{v}||^2$$ then $$\vec{u}$$ and $$\vec{v}$$ are orthogonal.   b) Let $$\{\vec{u}_1, \vec{u}_2, \vec{u}_3, \vec{u}_4\}$$ be an orthogonal basis for $$R^4$$. Let W be Span $$\{\vec{u}_1, \vec{u}_2, \vec{u}_3\}$$. Write $$\vec{x}$$ as the sum of two vectors, one in W and the other perpendicular to W. $$\vec{u}_1 = \begin{bmatrix}&1 \\&1 \\&0 \\&-1\end{bmatrix}$$, $$\vec{u}_2 = \begin{bmatrix}&1 \\&0 \\&1 \\&1\end{bmatrix}$$, $$\vec{u}_3 = \begin{bmatrix}&0 \\&-1 \\&1 \\&-1\end{bmatrix}$$, and $$\vec{x} = \begin{bmatrix}&-2 \\&3 \\&6 \\&-4\end{bmatrix}$$

Consider $$A = \begin{bmatrix}&8 & 2 & -2 & 0 &5 \\&12 & 3 & -3 & 6 &0 \\&4 & 1 & -1 & 3 &5 \\&0 & 0 & 0 & 1 &5\\&6 & \frac{3}{2} & -\frac{3}{2} & 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$   a) Find the nullspace of A (Nul(A) = span\{…\}).   b) Find a basis for the column space of A.   c) Is A invertible? Justify your answer using 3 different reasons using the Invertible Matrix Theorem.
