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.
