Let w,v1,...,vp ∈ Rn and suppose that w ∈ Span{v1,...,vp}. Show

Let v1,...,vp,w1,...,wq ∈ Rm. Is the following statement True or
False?
“If {v1, . . . , vp} is linearly dependent then
{v1,...,vp,w1,...,wq}
is linearly dependent.”
If you answer True, provide a complete proof; if you answer False,
provide a counter-example. Linear Algebra. Please show both!
Let T: V →W be a linear transformation from V to W.
a) show that if T is injective and S is a linearly independent
set of vectors in V, then T(S) is linearly independent.
b) Show that if T is surjective and S spans V,then T(S) spans
W.
