Question
Three vectors V1, V2, and V3 are given. If they are linearly independent,
show this; otherwise, find a nontrivial linear combination of them that is
equal to the zero vector.
DEHT-
Select the correct answer below, and fill in the answer box(es) to
complete your choice.
A. The vectors are linearly independent. The augmented matrix
[V1 V2 V30] has an echelon form E =
the trivial solution.
which has only
(Type an integer or simplified fraction for each matrix element.)
B. The vectors are linearly dependent, because
3√₁ + ( ) √2 + ( ) √3 = 0.
(Type integers or fractions.)
