Is a set with a 0 vector linearly independent?

I don't know how to write out matrices nicely on this forum,

but suppose you have some matrices:[1 0 3]
[2 0 4]
[0 0 5]

This would, by definition, be linearly dependent, spanning a plane in r3..is this correct? Since c1=0, c2=anything, c3=0

where c1v1+c2v2+c3v3=0

With this:

[1 0 3 5]
[3 0 2 4]
[2 0 1 4]

Linearly dependent, spanning all of r3?

[1 4 0 5 2]
[2 3 0 2 4]
[2 9 0 1 1]

Linearly dependent, spanning all of r3?

Are these correct? does the 0 vector hav any special properties with this?

If a set contains the zero vector, then it is always linearly dependent.

I think you made a typo when writing the title.
 

Thread '##(A/\mathfrak{a})_{\mathfrak{p}/\mathfrak{a}}## and its isomorphism?'

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...

Thread 'Trouble understanding an online solution to an exercise in Dummit & Foote'

##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
