Question 1:

a)
n
as indexed set of vectors {v ,v .......v } in R is said to be linearly independent in the vector
1 2 n

equation x1v1 +x2 v2 +x3v3...............x n vn = 0 has only the trivial solution

First we write the argument matrix of the given vectors


3 2 2 0
1 1 2 0 
3 1 2 0 
Row operation on the associated augmented matrix show that

This is clear that there are three basic variables and no free variable
so the given set if vectors is linearly indepenent.

b)
First, We write the argument matrix of the given vectors
1 3 1 0 
 
0 1 2 0
 
 1 0 7 0
Row operation on the associated augmented matrix show that

 0 1 2 0 RR

 0 3 6 0
1 3 1 0 
 0
 1 2 0 
 0 3 0 0   (3)R2
R3

Clearly x1 and x 2 are basics variables and x3 is the free variable


So that the given set of vectors is not linearly independent

So, the solution is unique
when k2 15  0
mean
k   15

b) The system of equation has no solution when k =15
