Document Summary

Span: the span of vectors is all linear combinations of them. Span{v1, v2, v3} c1v1 + c2v2 + c3v3 span{v1, v2, v3} A vector space (any vector space) can be written as a span of some vectors. Find the vectors spanning a solution space (kernel). Basis: the set of vectors that span the vector space. So in span{v1, v2, v3}, those 3 vectors are the basis. If leave the 3rd one out, won"t span the space. Can contain redundant vectors, but can"t contain a vector that"s not in the space. Basis of r2 (where r is being used for all real #s) Find a basis for kernel x3 = s x2 + 5s = 0 --> x2 = -5s x1 - 11s = 0 --> x1 = 11s. How to tell if vectors are linearly independent. They are linearly independent if only has the zero solution; has.
