Question 1

What does it mean for a set of vectors to be linearly independent?

  • They can be expressed in terms of one another
  • They cannot express the zero vector unless all coefficients are zero
  • They always lie on the same line

💡 Hint: Think about how combinations of coefficients work.

Question 2

True or False: If one vector in a set can be expressed as a linear combination of the others, the set is linearly independent.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Review the definitions of dependence and independence.
