From Example RSB, form an arbitrary (and nontrivial) linear combination of the four vectors in the original spanning set for W .

So the result of this computation is of course an element of W . As such, this vector should be a linear combination of the basis vectors in B. Find the (unique) scalars that provide this linear combination. Repeat with another linear combination of the original four vectors.

An arbitrary linear combination is

(You probably used a different collection of scalars.) We want to write y as a linear combination of

We could set this up as vector equation with variables as scalars in a linear combination of the vectors in B, but since the first two slots of B have such a nice pattern of zeros and ones, we can determine the necessary scalars easily and then double-check our answer with a computation in the third slot

Notice how the uniqueness of these scalars arises. They are forced to be 25 and −10.
