Which of the following subsets of R2 are spanning sets? Explain your answer.(a) {(−1, 0), (0, 1)}, (b) {(−1, 1), (1, −1)}, (c) {(−1, 0), (1, 0), (−1, 1)

Solution

(a) {(−1, 0), (0, 1)}: This is a spanning set. In R2, any set of two vectors that are not scalar multiples of each other can span the space. Here, the two vectors are linearly independent (not multiples of each other), so they can generate any other vector in R2 through linear combinations.

(b) {(−1, 1), (1, −1)}: This is also a spanning set. Although these vectors are negatives of each other, they are still linearly independent. They can generate any other vector in R2 through linear combinations.

(c) {(−1, 0), (1, 0), (−1, 1)}: This is also a spanning set. Even though the first two vectors are scalar multiples of each other and therefore linearly dependent, the third vector is not a multiple of the first two. Therefore, these vectors can still generate any other vector in R2 through linear combinations.

Determine whether the set S spans R2. If the set does not span R2, then give a geometric description of the subspace that it does span.S = {(−1, 2), (2, −1), (1, 1)}S spans R2.S does not span R2. S spans a line in R2.    S does not span R2. S spans a point in R2.

Define a span and a spanning set. Using the definition of a spanning set, demonstrate that(1, 1, 0), (4, 2, 1), (3, 1, 1) is not a spanning set of R3. In your answer you may use the definitions aspan and a spanning set, but not the concepts of a basis and dimension.
