i am still confused how to prove that a set is a basis other than proving it linearly independent and system of generator that have to do with matrices? please help

To prove that a set is a basis for a vector space, you need to show that the set is linearly independent and spans the entire vector space. This means that none of the vectors in the set can be written as a linear combination of the other vectors, and that every vector in the space can be written as a linear combination of the vectors in the set.
No, not every set of vectors can form a basis for a vector space. The set must be linearly independent and span the entire space in order to be considered a basis.
A basis is a set of vectors that is both linearly independent and spans the entire vector space, while a spanning set is a set of vectors that only spans the space but may not be linearly independent.
A set of vectors is linearly independent if none of the vectors can be written as a linear combination of the other vectors. This means that the only solution to the equation c1v1 + c2v2 + ... + cnvn = 0 is c1 = c2 = ... = cn = 0.
Yes, a vector space can have multiple bases. As long as the set of vectors is linearly independent and spans the entire space, it can be considered a basis.
