Showing linear dependency of vectors:

Consider the following set of vectors,

V={v1,v2,…,vn}

If this system of vectors is linearly dependent, then we have,

c1v1+c2v2+…+cnvn=0

For not all ci=0.

Now for some vector vk in V we can write as given below:

c1v1+c2v2+…+ckvk+…+cnvn=0

This can be written as follows:

vk=−1ck(c1v1+c2v2+…+ck−1vk−1+ck+1vk+1…+cnvn)

Therefore, we can see that a vector can be written as non-trivial combination of other vectors

Prove that in a given vector space V, the zero vector is unique. Suppose, by way of contradiction, that there are two distinct additive identities 0 and u,. Which of the following statements are then true about the vectors 0 and u,? (Select all that apply.) O The vector 0 + u, is not equal to u, + 0. O The vector 0 + u, is equal to un: O The vector 0 + u, is not equal to 0. O The vector 0 + u, does not exist in the vector space V. O The vector 0 + u, is equal to 0. O The vector o + u, is not equal to u: Which of the following is a result of the true statements that were chosen and what contradiction then occurs? O The statement u, + o 0, which contradicts that u, is an additive identity. O The statement u, +0 # 0 + u, which contradicts the commutative property. O The statement u, = 0, which contradicts that there are two distinct additive identities. O The statement u, + 0 U, which contradicts that O is an additive identity. O The statement u, + 0 + 0, which contradicts that u, must…

Two vectors from the vector space described in the previous prob- lem (polynomials defined on the interval [-1, 1]) are 1+1 and 1-1. Find an orthogonal set of vectors based on these two vectors.

Is W a subspace of the vector space? If not, state why. (Select all that apply.) w is the set of all vectors in R° whose components are Pythagorean triples. (Assume all components of a Pythagorean triple are positive integers.) O w is a subspace of R°. O w is not a subspace of R because it is not closed under addition. O w is not a subspace of R³ because it is not closed under scalar multiplication.
