5. Let V be a vector space (note that this is an arbitrary vector space - not necessarily F"). Suppose dim(V) = n. Prove that a set of vectors {v₁,..., Vn} in V is linearly independent if and only if it spans V. Hint 1: Remember (from sec. 1.6) that there is always an isomorphism A: V → F and isomorphisms "preserve" bases (and so preserves linear independence). Hint 2: Think in terms of pivots.
