Suppose that b 1 and b 2 are eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues λ 1 and λ 2 , respectively, and suppose that b 3 and b 4 are linearly independent eigenvectors corresponding to a third distinct eigenvalue λ 3 . Does it necessarily follow that { b 1 , b 2 , b 3 , b 1 } is a linearly independent set? [ Hint: Consider the equation c 1 b 1 + c 2 b 2 + ( c 3 b 3 + c 4 b 4 ) = 0.]
