5.1 REAL VECTOR SPACES
In this example we will find it convenient to verify the axioms in the following order: 1, 6, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 4, 5, and 10. Let
5.2 SUBSPACES THEOREM 5.2.1
Solution Spaces of Homogeneous Systems If AX=b is a system of linear equations, then each vector x that satisfies this equation is called a solution vector of the system. The following theorem shows that the solution vectors of a homogeneous linear system form a vector space, which we shall call the solution space of the system.
This system is consistent for all k1 ,k2 , and k3 if and only if the coefficient matrix
5.3 LINEAR INDEPENDENCE
EXAMPLE 1 A Linearly Dependent Set EXAMPLE 2 A Linearly Dependent Set
THEOREM 5.3.2 (a) A finite set of vectors that contains the zero vector is linearly dependent. (b) A set with exactly two vectors is linearly independent if and only if neither vector is a scalar multiple of the other.
5.4 BASIS AND DIMENSION Nonrectangular Coordinate Systems
Thus S is a basis for R3; it is called the standard basis for R3. Looking at the coefficients of i, j, and k in 1, it follows that the coordinates of v relative to the standard basis are a, b, and c, so
THEOREM 5.4.2 THEOREM 5.4.3 All bases for a finite-dimensional vector space have the same number of vectors.
DEFINITION The dimension of a finite-dimensional vector space V, denoted by dim(V), is defined to be the number of vectors in a basis for V. In addition, we define the zero vector space to have dimension zero.
