    Linear Algebra: Proving Linear Dependence in Subspaces with Basis Intersection

    sorry about the late reply... I am kinda new to physics forum... I am actually completely lost with this problem... well i would guess the Bu U Bw is linearly independent.. right? because any basis by definition is linearly independent... so wouldn't their union be independent as well? i don't...

    Linear Algebra: Proving Linear Dependence in Subspaces with Basis Intersection

    Let V be a 9 dimensional vector space and let U and W be five dimensional subspaces of V with the bases Bu and Bw respectively, (a) show that if Bu intersect Bw is empty then Bu union Bw is linearly dependen (b)use part (a) to prove U intersect W is not equal to the 0 vector now i have...
