Question 1

What defines linear dependence?

  • A vector can stand alone.
  • One vector can be expressed as a combination of others.
  • All vectors are independent.

💡 Hint: Think about how vectors relate to each other.

Question 2

True or False: The vector set { (1, 2), (2, 4) } is linearly independent.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Check if one vector can be made by combining others.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider the vectors v1 = (1, 2, 3), v2 = (2, 4, 6), and v3 = (3, 6, 9). Are these vectors linearly dependent or independent? Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Look for constants that can express one vector through another.

Question 2

An engineer decides to remove redundant structural supports based on vector analysis. If the original supports were based on vectors that are dependent, how would this affect the safety of the structure?

💡 Hint: Re-evaluate the role each support plays in load-bearing.
