Chapter 8: Q21E (page 437)

In Exercises 21-26, prove the given statement about subsets A and B of \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), or provide the required example in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\). A proof for an exercise may use results from earlier exercises (as well as theorems already available in the text).

21. If \(A \subset B\), then B is affine, then \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} A \subset B\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is proved that \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} A \subset B\).

Step by step solution

01

Set S is affine

RecallTheorem 2, whichstates that a set \(S\) is affineif and only if every affine combination of points of \(S\) lies in \(S\).

That is, \(S\) is affine if and only if \(S = {\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} S\).

02

Show that \(aff A \subset B\)

By theorem 2,\(B\) contains all affine combinations of points \(B\) because \(B\) is affine.

Therefore, \(B\) contains every affine combination of points of \(A\). This implies that \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} A \subset B\).

Thus, it is proved that \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} A \subset B\).

Show that a set\(\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}},...,{{\bf{v}}_p}} \right\}\)in\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{n}}}\)is affinely dependent when \(p \ge n + 2\).

A quartic Bézier curve is determined by five control points,

\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{,}}\,{\rm{ }}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\,{\bf{,}}{\rm{ }}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{2}}}\,{\bf{,}}{\rm{ }}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{3}}}\)and \({{\bf{p}}_4}\):

\({\bf{x}}\left( t \right) = {\left( {1 - t} \right)^4}{{\bf{p}}_0} + 4t{\left( {1 - t} \right)^3}{{\bf{p}}_1} + 6{t^2}{\left( {1 - t} \right)^2}{{\bf{p}}_2} + 4{t^3}\left( {1 - t} \right){{\bf{p}}_3} + {t^4}{{\bf{p}}_4}\)for \(0 \le t \le 1\)

Construct the quartic basis matrix \({M_B}\) for \({\bf{x}}\left( t \right)\).

Question: 27. Give an example of a closed subset\(S\)of\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\)such that\({\rm{conv}}\,S\)is not closed.

In Exercises 9 and 10, mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.

9.

a. If \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p}\) are in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) and if the set \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1} - {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3} - {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p} - {{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}} \right\}\) is linearly dependent, then \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p}} \right\}\) is affinely dependent. (Read this carefully.)

b. If \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p}\) are in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) and if the set of homogeneous forms \(\left\{ {{{\overline {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} }_1},...,{{\overline {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} }_p}} \right\}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^{n + 1}}\) is linearly independent, then \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p}} \right\}\) is affinely dependent.

c. A finite set of points \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _k}} \right\}\) is affinely dependent if there exist real numbers \({c_1},...,{c_k}\) , not all zero, such that \({c_1} + ... + {c_k} = 1\) and \({c_1}{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1} + ... + {c_k}{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _k} = 0\).

d. If \(S = \left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _p}} \right\}\) is an affinely independent set in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) and if p in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) has a negative barycentric coordinate determined by S, then p is not in \({\mathop{\rm aff}\nolimits} S\).

e.

If \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3},a,\) and \(b\) are in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) and if ray \({\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} + t{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) for \(t \ge 0\) intersects the triangle with vertices \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},\) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}\) then the barycentric coordinates of the intersection points are all nonnegative.

Question: Let \({\bf{p}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{2}}\end{array}} \right)\), \({\bf{n}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{5}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\end{array}} \right)\), \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{array}} \right)\), \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{3}}\end{array}} \right)\), and \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right)\), and let H be the hyperplane in\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{4}}}\) with normal n and passing through p. Which of the points \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}\), \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}\), and \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}}\) are on the same side of H as the origin, and which are not?
