Problem 44E [M] Repeat Exercise 43 with the matrices A and B from Exercise 42. Then give an explanation for what you discover, assuming that B was constructed as specified. Exercise 43: [M] With A and B as in Exercise 41, select a column v of A that was not used in the construction of B and determine if v is in the set spanned by the columns of B. (Describe your calculations.) Exercise 41: [M] Use as many columns of A as possible to construct a matrix B with the property that the equation Bx = 0 has only the trivial solution. Solve Bx = 0 to verify your work. Exercise 42: [M] Use as many columns of A as possible to construct a matrix B with the property that the equation Bx = 0 has only the trivial solution. Solve Bx = 0 to verify your work.

Question
In Exercises 21 and 22, mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer on the basis of a careful reading of the text.a. The columns of a matrix A are linearly independent if the equation Ax = 0 has the trivial solution.b. If S is a linearly dependent set, then each vector is a linear combination of the other vectors in S.c. The columns of any 4 × 5 matrix are linearly dependent.d. If x and y are linearly independent, and if {x, y, z} is linearly dependent, then z is in Span {x, y}
Solution
The first step in solving 1.7 problem number 21 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 21 and 22, mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer on the basis of a careful reading of the text.a. The columns of a matrix A are linearly independent if the equation Ax = 0 has the trivial solution.b. If S is a linearly dependent set, then each vector is a linear combination of the other vectors in S.c. The columns of any 4 × 5 matrix are linearly dependent.d. If x and y are linearly independent, and if {x, y, z} is linearly dependent, then z is in Span {x, y}
From the textbook chapter Linear Independence you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
