Let {v1, v2, ..., vk} be a linearly independent set of vectors in a vector space V. Delete the vector vk from this set and prove that the set {v1, v2, ..., vk-1} cannot span V.
Suppose that v₁, v₂ are linearly independent vectors in a vector space V and that v ∈ V is not contained in span{v₁, v₂}. Prove that v, v₁, v₂ are linearly independent.
