Since each vector is a member of \mathbb R^3, the vectors will span \mathbb R^3 if they form a basis for \mathbb R^3, which requires that they be linearly independent of one another.

To show this, you have to establish that the only linear combination of the three vectors c_1\mathbf v_1+c_2\mathbf v_2+c_3\mathbf v_3 that gives the zero vector \mathbf0 occurs for scalars c_1=c_2=c_3=0.

c_1\begin{bmatrix}3\\2\\1\end{bmatrix}+c_2\begin{bmatrix}-1\\-2\\-4\end{bmatrix}+c_3\begin{bmatrix}1\\1\\-1\end{bmatrix}=(0,0,0)\iff\begin{bmatrix}3&-1&1\\2&-2&1\\1&-4&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}c_1\\c_2\\c_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix}

Solving this, you'll find that c_1=c_2=c_3=0, so the vectors are indeed linearly independent, thus forming a basis for \mathbb R^3 and therefore they must span \mathbb R^3.
