Question No: 3
(a).
If \( \mathbf{v}_{1}, \ldots, \mathbf{v}_{4} \) are in \( \mathbb{R}^{4} \) and \( \left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}\right\} \) is linearly dependent, then \( \left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}, \mathbf{v}_{4}\right\} \) is also linearly dependent.
(b).
Explain why a set \( \left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}, \mathbf{v}_{4}\right\} \) in \( \mathbb{R}^{5} \) must be linearly independent when \( \left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}\right\} \) is linearly independent and \( \mathbf{v}_{4} \) is not in \( \operatorname{Span}\left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2}, \mathbf{v}_{3}\right\} \).
