Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the vectors v1 = (1, 1) and v2 = (2, 2), find a unique combination resulting in the vector (3, 3). Discuss whether these two vectors are independent.
💡 Hint: Draw or graph these vectors to visually speculate about their relationship.
Design a three-dimensional span using two specific non-parallel vectors. Discuss if it can fill the entire space.
💡 Hint: Visualize using a 3D graph to see how dimensions interact!
