Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Let v₁ = (2, 3) and v₂ = (4, 6). Demonstrate whether these vectors are linearly independent or dependent by showing a linear combination.

💡 Hint: Use the definition to write out the coefficients that lead to 0.

Question 2

Given a set of vectors {v₁, v₂, v₃} in R³, where v₁ = (1, 0, 0), v₂ = (0, 1, 0), v₃ = (0, 0, 1). Explain the significance of their span.

💡 Hint: Think about how the bases span the entire axis.
