Question

Determine by inspection whether the vectors are linearly independent. Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The set is linearly independent because at least one of the vectors is a multiple of another vector.

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of n vector of length n is linearly independent if the matrix with these vectors as column has none of zero determinant. The set of vectors is dependent if the determinant is zero. In the given question the vectors have no zero determinants therefore it is linearly independent.
