Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around determining whether specific sets of vectors span their respective vector spaces, ℝ3 and ℝ4. The original poster presents two sets of vectors and expresses uncertainty about how to proceed with the problem.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants discuss various methods for checking if the sets span the indicated spaces, including row reduction and determinants. The original poster questions how to apply these methods given their current understanding of linear independence and matrix operations.
Discussion Status
Some participants suggest using row reduction as a method, while others note that the original poster has not been taught this technique yet. There is a recognition of the need for clarification on the methods available to the original poster, and they express intent to seek further guidance from their professor.
Contextual Notes
Participants mention that the original poster has only been taught basic operations with matrices, which may limit their ability to apply more advanced techniques for determining span.
