how do i prove vectors u v w are coplanar if and only if they are linearly dependent ? i have no idea where to start.

SUMMARY
Vectors u, v, and w are coplanar if and only if they are linearly dependent. This relationship is established through the definitions of coplanarity and linear dependence. Specifically, three vectors are coplanar if there exists a scalar combination of them that equals zero, indicating linear dependence. Therefore, proving that u, v, and w are linearly dependent directly demonstrates their coplanarity.
