(d) In a vector space of dimension 3, any four vectors are linearly dependent. (e) Any vector space of dimension 2 has exactly two subspaces. (f) Any vector space of dimension 2 has infinitely many subspaces. (g) Any vector space of dimension 3 can be expanded by four vectors. (h) Any vector space of dimension 3 can be expanded by two vectors. (i) Three vectors are linearly dependent if and only if one of them can be written as a linear combination of the other two. (j) The column space and row space of the same matrix A will have the same dimension
