Let the set {V1, v2} be linearly dependent. Determine whether the set {v, + 4v2, 2v, – v2} is also linearly dependent by solving the equations a(v + 4v2) + b(2v, - v2) = 0 and cv + dv2 = 0 for scalars a and b in terms of scalars c and d, where c and d are not both zero. a = b = Is it possible for both a and b to be zero? O Yes O No Thus, is the set {v + 4v2, 2v - v2} linearly dependent? O Yes O No

Question
**Problem 8: Linear Dependence**

**Details: CHENEYLINALG2 2.4.508.XP**

Let the set \(\{v_1, v_2\}\) be linearly dependent. Determine whether the set \(\{v_1 + 4v_2, 2v_1 - v_2\}\) is also linearly dependent by solving the equations:

\[ a(v_1 + 4v_2) + b(2v_1 - v_2) = 0 \]

and 

\[ c v_1 + d v_2 = 0 \]

for scalars \(a\) and \(b\) in terms of scalars \(c\) and \(d\), where \(c\) and \(d\) are not both zero.

**Inputs:**

- \( a = \) [Input Box]
- \( b = \) [Input Box]

**Question:**

Is it possible for both \(a\) and \(b\) to be zero?

- [ ] Yes
- [ ] No

Thus, is the set \(\{v_1 + 4v_2, 2v_1 - v_2\}\) linearly dependent?

- [ ] Yes
- [ ] No
