Transcribed Image Text:Suppose {V1, V2, V3} are linearly independent vectors in a vector space V. Find the
number(s) k such that the vectors w₁ = V₁ + kv₂, W2 = V2 + kv3 and w3 = V3+ kv₁ are
linearly dependent. Justify your answers.
Hint: Assume C₁W₁+C₂W2+C3W3 0 for some scales C1, C2, C3. Express it in terms of lin-
ear combinations of V₁, V2, V3. Then, use the linearly independence of {V₁, V2, V3} to get
a linear system with k as a parameter and C₁, C2, C3 as unknown variables. {w₁, W2, W3}
are linearly dependent if the system only have zero solutions.
