What does it means for a set of vectors a1; a2; : : : ; ; an to
be linearly independent?
What is the span of the set?
This question is about linear algebra
Solution:
Definition: The
vectors
are linearly independent if and only if whenever
there are scalars
such that
implies
for all

Definition:
Let
be a set of vectors and
be scalars . An expression of the type
is called a linear combination of
.
The set of all linear combinations of the
vectors
is called a span of the set
