Linear Algebra, Lesson 11: Linear Combinations and Span

Math skill: Solve for Coefficients c₁, c₂ Expressing a Vector as c₁v₁ + c₂v₂

How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives basis vectors v₁=(3,1), v₂=(5,2) and a target vector — solve the resulting 2x2 system for c₁ and c₂ (using last lesson's inverse-matrix technique), then add them. Build that many notes anywhere in the kit.

This is lesson 11 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Linear Algebra, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, Linear Independence via the Determinant,” covered test Two Vectors for Independence Using |ad - bc|. Next is Lesson 12, Eigenvalues of a Triangular Matrix.”

Every slot above (A, B, C, D) is its own question, and it’s a real, blank RockBlocks beat the whole time — the same drag-and-drop tiles, kit, tempo, sheet music, and drummer view as anywhere else on the site. Tap ❓ Questionin the corner to read the current slot’s problem, build your answer right in the grid, then tap ✓ Check Answerto grade it. Once you’re done, keep going: expand the beat, drop it into a Stack, or save a copy to your own page — nothing here overwrites the lesson itself, so every visitor still starts from the same blank slots.
