Problem 6.1 Determine which of the following sets of vectors are linearly independent. $L_1 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \right\}$, $L_2 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} \right\}$, $L_3 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \right\}$, $L_4 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 7 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 5 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \right\}$, $L_5 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 0 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \right\}$.

Step 1
For set 1={(.(b)}, we only have one vector. Since there are no other vectors to compare it to, it is automatically linearly independent. For set 2={().(b).()}, we have three vectors. Let's check if any vector can be written as a linear combination of the other Show more…
