Determine whether the given vector $\mathbf{v}$ lies in $\operatorname{span}\left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}\right\}$. $$\mathbf{v}=(3,3,4), \mathbf{v}_{1}=(1,-1,2), \mathbf{v}_{2}=(2,1,3) \text { in } \mathbb{R}^{3}$$

Recall that three vectors $\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ are coplanar if and only if $$ \operatorname{det}\left(\left[\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}\right]\right)=0 $$ Use this result to determine whether the given set of vectors spans $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. $$\{(1,-1,1),(2,5,3),(4,-2,1)\}$$
Determine whether the given vector $\mathbf{v}$ lies in $\operatorname{span}\left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}\right\}$. $$\begin{aligned} &\mathbf{v}=(5,3,-6), \mathbf{v}_{1}=(-1,1,2), \mathbf{v}_{2}=(3,1,-4)\\ &\text { in } \mathbb{R}^{3} \end{aligned}$$
