Key Concepts
These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.
Vector Space
- Vectors can be added together in any order, which is called commutative property.
- The addition of vectors is associative, meaning changing the grouping doesn't affect the sum.
- There is a zero vector, which doesn't change other vectors when added.
- Every vector has an inverse, which, when added to it, results in the zero vector.
- Vectors can be multiplied by scalars, altering their magnitude but not their direction.
- Scalar multiplication is distributive over both vector addition and scalar addition.
Basis of a Vector Space
- Linearly Independent: No vector in the set can be composed as a linear combination of the others.
- Spanning: Any vector in the space can be represented as a combination of the basis vectors.
Linear Independence
- If the equation \( a_1v_1 + a_2v_2 + \, ... \, + a_nv_n = 0 \) holds only when all coefficients \( a_1, a_2, \, ... \, a_n \) are zero, the vectors \( v_1, v_2, \, ... \, v_n \) are linearly independent.
- In the exercise, each coefficient separately influences whether the vectors maintain independence.
Determinant Condition
- The formula for the determinant of two vectors, say \( w_1 \) and \( w_2 \), is \( st - 1 \).
- This equals zero only when \( w_1 \) and \( w_2 \) are linearly dependent, meaning they lie on the same line.
- For the set \( \{w_1, w_2\} \) to form a basis, \( st eq 1 \) must be true, ensuring the determinant is not zero.
