Question 1

What defines linear dependence among vectors?

  • A unique solution exists
  • Multiple solutions exist
  • Only one vector can be expressed as a combination of others

💡 Hint: Think in terms of solutions to linear equations.

Question 2

True or False: If only linear combinations of zeros result in the zero vector, the vectors are linearly independent.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the definitions of dependence versus independence.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In 3D space, consider vectors A = (1, 0, 0), B = (0, 1, 0), and C = (0, 0, 1). Are these vectors dependent or independent? Justify your answer with a general linear combination.

💡 Hint: Use the definition of independence for validation.

Question 2

Given the vectors D = (1, 2, 3), E = (2, 4, 6), and F = (1, 1, 1), determine if the set is dependent or independent and explain.

💡 Hint: Check for scalar multiples and linear combinations.
