Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
