Question

Determine if the following statement is true or false:If {v1,v2,v3} is an orthogonal basis for  a subspace W, then the set {a⋅v1,b⋅v2,c⋅v3}(where a,b,c are nonzero scalars) is an orthogonal basis for W.TrueFalse

Solution

To determine if the statement is true or false, we need to consider the properties of an orthogonal basis.

An orthogonal basis for a subspace W is a set of vectors that are mutually orthogonal (perpendicular) to each other and span the subspace W.

In this case, we are given that {v1, v2, v3} is an orthogonal basis for W. Now, we need to determine if the set {a⋅v1, b⋅v2, c⋅v3} (where a, b, c are nonzero scalars) is also an orthogonal basis for W.

To check if the set {a⋅v1, b⋅v2, c⋅v3} is orthogonal, we need to verify if the vectors in the set are mutually orthogonal to each other.

If the vectors in the set are mutually orthogonal, then the statement is true. Otherwise, the statement is false.

Therefore, the answer to the question is: False.
