Definition. Let S ⊂ V be a subset of a vector space. The span of S, span(S), is the set of all finite linear combinations of vectors in S. In set notation, span(S) = {v ∈ V : there exist v1, . . . , vk ∈ S and a1, . . . , ak ∈ F such that v = a1v1 + . . . + akvk} . Note that this generalizes the notion of the span of a...

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, . ....
