... If the determinant |A| of a n × n square matrix A ≡ An is zero, then the matrix is said to be singular. This means that at least one row and one column are linearly dependent on the others. If this row and column are removed, we are left with another matrix, say An−1 , to which we can apply the same ...

LINEAR DEPENDENCE AND RANK
... Another theorem of linear algebra provides a way to evaluate whether a consistent set of equations has an infinite number of solutions: a consistent system of n equations in n unknowns has a unique solution if the rank of the coefficient matrix is equal to its order, where r(A) = n. In the example h ...

... We now consider in detail the question of why every subspace of Rn has a basis. Theorem 3. If S is a subspace of Rn , then S has a basis containing at most n elements. Equivalently, dim(S) 6 n. Proof. First, recall that every set of n + 1 (or more) vectors in Rn is linearly dependent, since they for ...

... fails to satisfy second condition of subspace definition. Therefore W is not subspace. (b) YES Let u = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d ∈ W and v = a1 x3 + b1 x2 + c1 x + d1 ∈ W then i. u + v = (a + a1 )x3 + (b + b1 )x2 + (c + c1 )x + (d + d1 ) ∈ W ii. ∀λ ∈ R we get λu = λax3 + λbx2 + λcx + λd ∈ W Thus W is subsp ...
