Using a step by step proof format

Please prove:

Given that x is a vector in the span of V, where V is a linearly independent set of vectors, show that there is ONLY ONE linear combination of the vectors in V that yields x. (Hint: to show that something is unique, assume that there is more than one such thing and show that this leads to a contradiction)

Complete the proof Let V be a nontrivial vector space which has a spanning set {xi} ki=1. Then there is a subset of {xi} ki=1 which is a basis for V. Proof. We will divide the set {xi} ki=1 into two sets, which we will call good and bad. If x1 ≠ 0, then we label x1 as good and if it is zero, we label it as bad. For each i ≥ 2, if xi ∉ span{x1, . ....

If v1 and v2 are linearly independent vectors in vector space V, and u1, u2, and u3 are each a linear combination of them, prove that {u1, u2, u3} is linearly dependent.

Hi. I have two questions about the linear algebra. 1. Prove that a linear transform always maps 0 to 0. 2. Suppose that S = {x, y, z} is a linearly dependent set. Prove that every vector v in the span of the set S can be expressed as a linear combination in more than one way. Will thumb up for both answers. Thank you so much!
