Question:

Which of the following set is linearly dependent set in \(R^3(R)\)?

Show Hint

Any set of vectors containing the zero vector is automatically linearly dependent.
  • \(\{(-1,0,1),(0,1,1),(2,-2,-1)\}\)
  • \(\{(0,0,1),(0,1,1),(0,0,0)\}\)
  • \(\{(1,0,1),(0,1,1),(1,1,0)\}\)
  • \(\{(0,1,2),(0,0,1)\}\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
A set of vectors is linearly dependent if one of the vectors can be written as a linear combination of the others. Also, any set of vectors containing the zero vector is always linearly dependent.

Step 1: Observe option (B).
Option (B) is \[ \{(0,0,1),(0,1,1),(0,0,0)\} \] This set contains the zero vector \[ (0,0,0) \]

Step 2: Use the standard result.
If a set contains the zero vector, then we can choose a non-zero scalar multiplying the zero vector and still get the zero vector. For example, \[ 1(0,0,0)+0(0,0,1)+0(0,1,1)=(0,0,0) \] Here the coefficients are not all zero. So the set is linearly dependent.

Step 3: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{\{(0,0,1),(0,1,1),(0,0,0)\}} \]
