Textbook Solutions for Linear Algebra: A Geometric Approach

Chapter 3.1 Problem 2

Question

Decide whether each of the following collections of vectors spans \(\mathbb{R}^3\).

a. (1, 1, 1), (1, 2, 2)

b. (1, 1, 1), (1, 2, 2), (1, 3, 3)

c. (1, 0, 1), (1, -1, 1), (3, 5, 3), (2, 3, 2)

d. (1, 0, -1), (2, 1, 1), (0, 1, 5)

Solution

Step 1 of 4

a) \(A=(1,1,1,),(1,2,2,)\)

\(A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array}\right]\)

There we see Rank \((A)=2<3\)  thus \(A\) does not span \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\)
