I am giving two different proofs first is by mathematical induction and second by using echleon form property of matrices. Both proofs are correct. I prefer first one proved by mathematical induction. Please feel free to ask for any query and rate positively.

Are the vectors v1 = (1 , 2, 3), v2 = (2, 4, 6), and v3 = (1, 1, 3) linearly independent or dependent? Since v2 is a scalar multiple of v1, both v1 and v2 are linearly dependent, but what does that say about the linear dependence of the three vectors as a whole?

if {v1,v2,v3} is a linearly independent set of vectors, then {v1,v2,v3,v4} is too.
