Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the vectors [2, 3, 1], [4, 6, 2], [5, 7, 4], determine if they are linearly independent or dependent and explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Form a matrix and use row reduction.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using the vectors (1, 2, -1), (2, 4, 2), (3, 6, 3), show they are dependent and find the relationship between them.

💡 Hint: Look for a common scalar that relates the vectors.
