Prove the following generalization of Theorem 1.9 (p. 44): Let Si and S2 be subsets of a vector space V such that Si C S2. If Si is linearly independent and S2 generates V, then there exists a basis ft for V such that Si C ft C S2. Hint: Apply the maximal principle to the family of all linearly independent subsets of S2 that contain Si, and proceed as in the proof of Theorem 1.13.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Consider denotes the family of linearly independent subsets of .
Also,
To prove:
contains a maximal element.
The aim is to show that if is a chain in , then there exists that contains each member of Hence, it is required to claim that the union of members from is the required set.
