Question
Let **u** = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}\), **v** = \(\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}\), and **w** = \(\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}\).

We want to determine by inspection (with minimal computation) if {**u**, **v**, **w**} is linearly dependent or independent.

Choose the best answer.

- A. The set is linearly dependent because one of the vectors is a scalar multiple of another vector.
- B. The set is linearly independent because we only have two vectors and they are not scalar multiples of each other.
- C. The set is linearly dependent because one of the vectors is the zero vector.
- D. The set is linearly dependent because two of the vectors are the same.
- E. The set is linearly dependent because the number of vectors in the set is greater than the dimension of the vector space.
- F. We cannot easily tell if the set is linearly dependent or linearly independent.
