Basis
Def:- A basis for a vector space is a sequence of vectors
with two properties:
The basis vectors are linearly independent or They
span the space.
Indepent or dependent vectors
What is linear independent?
What is linear dependent?
Elaboration.
Def of linear independent
The vectors a1, ..., an are called linearly
independent if there exist trival combination
of vectors equal to the zero vector.
That is, the vector a1, ..., an are linearly
independent if x1a1 + ... + xnan = 0
Def of linear dependent
The vectors a1, ..., an are called linearly
dependent if there exists a non-trivial
combination of these vectors is equal to
the zero vector.
