Answer

y=-3 v_{1} + 2 v_{2} + 2v_{3}

Work Step by Step

y-v_{1} = c_{2} (v_{2} - v_{1}) + c_{3} (v_{3} - v_{1}) y-v_{1}=\begin{bmatrix} 17\\ 1\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -3\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 20\\ 0\\ 4 \end{bmatrix} v_{2}-v_{1}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 4\\ -2 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -3\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3\\ 3\\ -3 \end{bmatrix} v_{3}-v_{1}=\begin{bmatrix} 4\\ -2\\ 6 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -3\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 7\\ -3\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} y-v_{1} = c_{2} (v_{2} - v_{1}) + c_{3} (v_{3} - v_{1}) \begin{bmatrix} 20\\ 0\\ 4 \end{bmatrix} = c_{2} \begin{bmatrix} 3\\ 3\\ -3 \end{bmatrix} + c_{3} \begin{bmatrix} 7\\ -3\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} \left\{\begin{matrix} 20=3c_{2}+7c_{3}\\ 0=3c_{2}-3c_{3}\\ 4=-3c_{2}+5c_{3} \end{matrix}\right. \left\{\begin{matrix} 20=3c_{2}+7c_{2}\rightarrow c_{2}=20/10=2=c_{3}\\ 0=3c_{2}-3c_{3} \rightarrow c_{2}=c_{3}=2\\ Check : 4=-3*(2)+5*(2) \rightarrow 4=-6+10=4 (True) \end{matrix}\right. y-v_{1} = c_{2} (v_{2} - v_{1}) + c_{3} (v_{3} - v_{1}) y-v_{1} = 2 (v_{2} - v_{1}) + 2 (v_{3} - v_{1}) y=v_{1} + 2 v_{2} -2 v_{1} + 2 v_{3} -2 v_{1} y=-3 v_{1} + 2 v_{2} + 2 v_{3}
