    Determining Linear Independence: v1, v2,...vn, n≥4

    Thanks everyone, I just hit a break through on this... I completely understand now, and you guys are great, thanks for not just giving me the answer, but helping me figure it out. I now know what to do. I just needed to hear it in "plain english" Thanks again Jeff

    Determining Linear Independence: v1, v2,...vn, n≥4

    It doesn't appear as though I can from the given problem. My conclusion is that none of them (a, b or c) are linearly dependent, and are all three linearly independent, because I don't see any vectors that are linear combinations of any other vectors of the set. it just seems too simple. I just...

    Determining Linear Independence: v1, v2,...vn, n≥4

    I already know what that means, I just don't know what you mean by "GENERAL" my teacher uses really weird notation, completely different than what the book uses, plus he barely speaks english, so I am having to learn all of this on my own. If you could just show me and explain to me how to do...

    What exactly do you mean by "general" linear combination of my vectors? Thanks, Jeff

    Determining Linear Independence: v1, v2,...vn, n≥4

    How do I determine this: Problem: The vectors: v1, v2, ... , vn, n >= 4 and are linearly independent. Determine if the following vectors are also linearly independent. a) the vectors v1 - v2, v2 + v3, v3 + v1 b) the vectors v1 - v2, 2(v2 - v3), 3(v3 - v4), ..., n(vn - v1) c) the...
