A water tower is located 325 ft. from a building. From a window in the building it is observed that the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 39 degrees and the angle of depressionto the bottom of the tower is 25 degrees. How tall is thetower? How high is the window?

Since the angle of depression is 25 degrees, we know that the angle between the bottom of the tower and the building is also 25 degrees because they are opposite internal angles, so the you just use 325sin25 degrees to get the height of the window to be137.35 feet.

Theorem: Let f be continuous on [ a , b ] and assume f ( a ) ≠ f ( b ). Then for every λ such that f ( a ) < λ < f ( b ), there exists a c ∈ ( a , b ) such that f ( c ) = λ.

Question:
Suppose that f : [ 0 , 1 ] → [ 0 , 2 ] is continuous. Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to prove that their exists c ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] such that:
f ( c ) = 2 c 2

Attempt:
I know that when we have the condition were f : [ a , b ] → [ a , b ], the method to prove that c exits, is the same method you would use to prove the fixed point theorem.

Unfortunately I don't have an example in my notes when we have f : [ a , b ] → [ a , y ]. How would I use the IVT to answer the original question?

Let v 1 , . . . , v n be linealy independent vectors in R m and let w = a 1 v 1 + . . . + a n v n with real numbers a 1 , . . . a n , be linear combination of these vectors.
Prove if a 1 ≠ 0, then the vector w , v 2 , . . . , v n are linearly independent
So far, what I have thought is forming a formula like this: x 1 w + x 2 v 2 + . . . + x n v n = 0, because v 1 , . . . , v n is linearly independent vectors, so x 2 = . . . = x n = 0, then now we need to prove x 1 = 0 so these vector will be linearly independent. But from here, I don't know how to process further more in this problem, can anyone help me out with a way to solve this or a better alternative solution is appreciate.
