3. (a) Let S = {v1, . . . , vn} be a linearly dependent subset of a vector space V , and let vn+1 be an element of V which is not an element of S. Prove/disprove: S∪{vn+1} is linearly dependent. (b) Let T = {v1, . . . , vn} be a linearly independent subset of a vector space V , and let vn+1 ∈ V \ T. Prove that T ∪ {vn+1} is linearly dependent if and only if vn+1 ∈ span(T)
