Question

If {v1, v2, . . . , vn} spans a vector space V, prove that some subset of the v’s is a basis for V.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that v1, v2,....,vn spans a vector space V.

We have to prove that some subset of v's is a basis for V.

Step 2

Basis of a vector space:

Let V be a n-dimensional vector space and the vectors v1, v2,....,vn is a basis of V, then the vectors are linearly independent.
