Answer

$$v=\frac{9}{8} u_1+\frac{1}{8}u_2.$$

Work Step by Step

Suppose the following linear combination $$(1,2,3,5)=a(1,2,3,4)+b(-1,-2,-3,4)+c(0,0,1,1), \quad a,b,c\in R.$$ Which yields the following system of equations \begin{align*} a-b&=1\\ 2a-2b&=2\\ 3a-3b+c&=3\\ 4a+4b+c&=5. \end{align*} Solving the above system, we get the solution $a=\frac{9}{8}$, $b=\frac{1}{8}$, $c=0$. Hence, $$v=\frac{9}{8} u_1+\frac{1}{8}u_2.$$
