Show hintHide hint
Check if one vector can be expressed as a multiple of the other.
Question 2.
Is the set of vectors {[1, 0], [0, 1]} linearly independent?
Show hintHide hint
Visualize their placement on a graph.
3Question 3.
What is the first step to determine if vectors are linearly independent using a matrix?
- A. Check their dot product
- B. Form a matrix with them as columns
- C. Look for scalar multiples
Show hintHide hint
Think about the initial setup in matrix terms.
4Question 4.
True or False: If the number of pivot columns equals the number of vectors, they are dependent.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the defining characteristics of dependence.
Question 5.
Given the vectors A: [1, 2, 3], B: [4, 5, 6], and C: [7, 8, 9], determine if they are independent using row reduction.
Show hintHide hint
Look for identical rows during reduction.
Question 6.
In R^3, analyze the vectors [1, 2, 3], [2, 4, 6], [1, 0, 0]. Is it possible for them to be independent?
Show hintHide hint
Check whether any vector can be generated from others.
