Problem Statement

Given two vectors v=(v1,,vn)v = (v_1,\dots,v_n) and w=(w1,wn)w = (w_1\dots,w_n) in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, lets define vwv*w as the matrix in which the element of row ii and column jj is viwjv_iw_j. Supose that vv and ww are linearly independent. Find the rank of the matrix vwwv.v*w - w*v.
