Show that, in n-dimensional space, any n + 1 vectors are linearly dependent.
HINT: Given n+1 vectors, where each vector has n components, write out the equations that determine whether these vectors are linearly dependent or not. Show that these equations constitute a system of n linear homogeneous equations with n + 1 unknowns. What do you know about the possible solutions to such a system of equations?
