A and b are two nonparallel vectors. Find the values of m and n.
Solution:
(m? -n)a+(2n? +n)b
=(m? -n)(e 1+e2)+(2n? +n)(e 1-e2)
=(m? -n+2n? +n)e 1+(m? -n-2n? -n)e2
=(m? +2n? )e 1+(m? -2n? -2n)e2
=2e 1+3e2
According to the basic theorem of plane vector, we can get
m? +2n? =2
m? -2n? -2n=3
Subtract two expressions: 4n? +2n+ 1=0
Because delta = 2? -4×4 & lt; 0
So there is no solution.
