### Linear Combination Question

**Statement:**
\[ 2\mathbf{v}_1 + 3\mathbf{v}_2 + \sqrt{3}\mathbf{v}_4 + 5\mathbf{v}_5 \,(\mathbf{v}_3 \text{ and } \mathbf{v}_4 \text{ are multiplied}) \text{ is a linear combination of the vectors } \mathbf{v}_1, \mathbf{v}_2, \mathbf{v}_3, \mathbf{v}_4, \mathbf{v}_5. \]

**Options:**
- ○ True
- ○ False

**Explanation:**
This problem asks whether the given expression can be represented as a linear combination of the specified vectors. In linear algebra, a linear combination involves adding together scalar multiples of vectors. The vectors \(\mathbf{v}_1, \mathbf{v}_2, \mathbf{v}_3, \mathbf{v}_4, \mathbf{v}_5\) are scalars multiplied by coefficients, suggesting that the expression indeed forms a linear combination using these vectors. The statement includes \( \mathbf{v}_3 \) and \( \mathbf{v}_4 \) being multiplied, indicating potential clarification needs.
