### Problem 5: Linear Dependence of Vectors

Determine (by justifying) whether the following set of vectors are linearly dependent or linearly independent.

#### Set (a):
Vectors:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 \\
0 \\
\end{bmatrix},
\begin{bmatrix}
5 \\
2 \\
\end{bmatrix},
\begin{bmatrix}
1 \\
1 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Set (b):
Vectors:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
-2 \\
2 \\
3 \\
7 \\
\end{bmatrix},
\begin{bmatrix}
-6 \\
1 \\
-1 \\
14 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Set (c):
Vectors:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
2 \\
1 \\
0 \\
0 \\
\end{bmatrix},
\begin{bmatrix}
0 \\
3 \\
-1 \\
0 \\
\end{bmatrix},
\begin{bmatrix}
0 \\
0 \\
3 \\
2 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]

### Guidelines:
For each set of vectors, analyze whether they are linearly dependent or independent by constructing the corresponding matrix and reducing it to its row echelon form (REF) or reduced row echelon form (RREF). The condition for linear dependence is that there exists a non-trivial solution to the homogeneous equation \(Ax = 0\); otherwise, the vectors are independent.
