Question

S is a linearly independent set,then for any x element of , x is not the linear combination of other vectors in S. Is this true or false?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since, using the following definition of linearly dependent of sets-

If a set of vectors is linearly dependent, then at least one vector can be written as a linear combination of other vectors. And a set is not linearly dependent then this set is called linearly independent.

Step 2

Given that, S is linearly independent set.

Then, for any element x of S

There doesn’t exists any linear combination of x.
