Answer #1

R is a linearly independent set with order n-2 and S is a spanning set with order n+2. To extend R to a basis for V, we will try to express the vectors in S as linear combinations of the vectors in R. The vectors in S which cannot be expressed as linear combinations of the vectors in R may be added to R to create a a linearly independent set with order > n-2. If we are able to locate 2 such vectors then the order of the larger set created this way will be n. This set will form a basis for V.

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, . ....
