If S0 is linearly independent and v0 ∈ V − S0 then, S0 ∪ {v0}is linearly independent if and only if v0 /∈ Span(S0).

Theorem

Vectors v1, v2, · · · , vm ∈ Rn are linearly dependent wheneverm > n

(i.e., the number of coordinates is less than the number ofvectors).

We need to determine if there exist r1, r2, r3 ∈ R not all zero suchthat r1A + r2A

2 + r3A3 = 0. This matrix equation is equivalent to

a system −r1 + 0r2 + r3 = 0r1 − r2 + 0r3 = 0−r1 + r2 + 0r3 = 00r1 − r2 + r3 = 0

Example 6.10Find the dimension of the plane x + 2z = 0 in R3

Solution

The general solution of the equation isx = 2sy = tz = s

(t, s,∈ R)

That is, (x , y , z) = (−2s, t, s) = t(0, 0, 1) + s(−2, 0, 1)

Hence, the plane is the span of vectors v1 = (0, 0, 1) andv2 = (−2, 0, 1). These vectors are linearly independent as they arenot parallel. Thus, {v1, v2} is a basis so that the dimension of theplane is 2.

(t, s,∈ R)

That is, (x , y , z) = (−2s, t, s) = t(0, 0, 1) + s(−2, 0, 1)

Hence, the plane is the span of vectors v1 = (0, 0, 1) andv2 = (−2, 0, 1). These vectors are linearly independent

as they arenot parallel. Thus, {v1, v2} is a basis so that the dimension of theplane is 2.

Theorem

Let S be a subset of a vector space V. Then, the followingconditions are equivalent:

i) S is a basis, i.e., is a linearly independent spanning set for V.

ii) S is a minimal spanning set for V.

iii) S is a maximal linearly independent subset of V.

’Minimal spanning set’ means: remove any element from this set,and it is no longer a spanning set.

’ Maximal linearly independent subset’ means: add any element ofV to this set, and

it will become linearly dependent.

Row space of a matrix

The row space of an m × n matrix A is the subspace of Rn

spanned by the rows of A

The dimension of the row space is called the rank of the matrix A.

Theorem 1

The rank of a matrix A is the maximal number of linearlyindependent rows in A.

Theorem 2

If a matrix A is in row echelon form, then the nonzero rows of Aare linearly independent.

However, we have to observe that any row bi of B belongs toSpan(a1, ..., am). Indeed, either bi = aj for some 1 ≤ j ≤ m (interchange of two rows ), or bi = rai for some scalar r 6= 0 (multiplying any row by a scalar different from zero ), orbi = ai + raj for some i 6= j and r ∈ R

( adding to a row, amultiple of another row )

It follows that Span(b1, ...,bm) ⊂ Span(a1, ..., am)
