Linear Independence

We need to be able to express vectors in the simplest, most efficient way possible. To do this, we will have to be able to assess whether some vectors are linearly dependent or linearly independent. How can we make sure that vectors are linearly independent?

    I had also stumbled upon such concepts. You see the thing is a matrix having a trivial solution means that on putting the unknown in the linear eq we should get zero so Ax=0 but in case of a determinent there are no unknown variables an determinent is purely of enteries of a so both have different results Having a non singular determinent means that this matrix has linearly independent coloumns as there is a property that states if any two coloumns of a matrix are identicle in any way then |A| = 0

    This is the matrix you get from combining vectors a, b, c: [ 1, -1, 2] [ -3, -1, -2] [2, 2, -3] [1, 5, 3] Done right, row reducing that matrix will eventually give you: [1, -1, 2] [0, 1, -1] [0, 0, 1] [0, 0, 0] So, writing that up with scalars and equating to zero, we get: c_1 - c_2 + 2c_3 = 0 c_2 - c_3 = 0 c_3 = 0 Inserting c_3 into the first 2 equations, you will get: c_1 = 0 c_2 = 0 c_3 = 0 This makes the vectors linearly independent.

    hi, i don't think so. a matrix with a column of zeros will always have a determinant equal to zero, but it is possible to have 3 linearly independent vectors (even though they are all of length 4). whenever you don't have a square matrix, you'll have to solve it through elementary row operations. :')
