Answer:

A common technique for simplifying algebraic expressions. When combining like terms, such as 2x and 3x, we add their coefficients. For example, 2x + 3x = (2+3)x = 5x.

False, counterexample below

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the unit vectors of R^3 by $e_1=(1,0,0), e_2=(0,1,0), e_3=(0,0,1)$ . Now consider $v_1=e_1, v_2=2e_1$ and $v_3=e_3$ . We have that $v_1, v_2,v_3 \in \mathbb{R}^3$ . Also, the vector $v_3$ is not a linear combination of $v_1, v_2$ because any linear combination of these two vectors will have third coordinate zero, but v_3 has third coordinate 1 so they can't be equal.

However, the set $\{v_1, v_2,v_3\}$ is not linearly independent, because $2v_1-v_2+0v_3=0$ is a non-trivial linear combination of these vectors that equals zero.
