Show that a set of vectors, which contains a set of linearly dependent vectors, is linearly dependent. What is the analogous statement about linearly independent vectors?

Expert Solution
Step 1

To show that a set of vectors, which contains a set of linearly dependent vectors, is linearly dependent:

Suppose that the set of vectors v1,v2,v3,...,vk is linearly independent.

So, there exist scalars c1,c2,...,ck not all zero such that

c1v1+c2v2+...+ckvk=0.

Now, consider the set 

v1,v2,...,vk,vk+1,...,vn

containing the set v1,v2,v3,...,vk.
