hi guys, i have no idea of how to do the following question, could u give some ideas?
Q:determine whether or not the given set forms a basis for the indicated subspace
{(1,-1,0),(0,1,-1)}for the subspace of R^3 consisting of all (x,y,z) such that x+y+z=0
how should i start?
i know the vectors are linearly independent, and then i think i need to show they span. but doesn't it require 3 vectors to prove span in R^3?
or maybe the (x,y,z) such that x+y+z=0 can be used somewhere? I know this will form a plane, but how should i say this?
Thank you.
