If a set contains p vectors in Rn and p n then the set is l

If a set contains p vectors in R^n and p > n, then the set is linearly dependent. If a set of vectors contains the zero vector, then the set is linearly dependent. If a set contains exactly one vector and it is nonzero, then the set is linearly independent. A set of vectors in linearly dependent if and only if at least one vector in the set can be written as a linear combination of other vectors in the set.

Solution

(b)

True.

Since Rn has dimension n so a set can have at most n linearly independent vectors.

(c)

True.

Because then we can write

1*0+0*(a+b+c+....)=0

where, a,b,c are other vectors in the set

(d)

True.

Let, x be the vector

Since there are no other vectors so x cannot be written as linear combination of any other vectors hence set is linearly independent by definition

(e)

True.

This is the definition of linear dependence of set of vectors.

 If a set contains p vectors in R^n and p > n, then the set is linearly dependent. If a set of vectors contains the zero vector, then the set is linearly dep
