1 Linear Independence A consistent system of linear equations with matrix equation Ax = b, where A is an m n matrix, has a solution set whose graph in R n is a linear object, that is, has one of only n + 1 possible shapes: a point (a copy of R 0 ), a line (a copy of R 1 ), a plane (a copy of R 2 ), a 3-space (a copy of R 3 ),, all of R n. We have seen how, given one particular solution x = p, every other solution is a translate x = p + v h of a solution v h to the associated homogeneous system of equations with matrix form Ax = 0. That is, the solution set for Ax = b has the same shape as, and is parallel to, the solution set for the homogeneous system Ax = 0. So the shape of the solution set depends only on A and not on b. In fact, the process of row reducing A shows that the solutions v h to the associated homogeneous system of equations have the form v h = x 1 v x f v f, where x 1, x 2,, x f are the free variables that arise (each corresponding to a column of A that does not contain a pivot entry). Therefore, the shape of the solution set to Ax = b is determined entirely by the number of free variables that appear in the row reduction procedure.
2 The fundamental case occurs when there are no free variables, that is, when the reduced echelon form of A has pivots in every row. In this case, by expressing Ax = 0 as a vector equation of the form x 1 a x n a n = 0, where A = [ a 1 a 2 a n ], we have a situation in which the only solution to the system is the trivial solution x = v h = 0. This leads to the following very important definition: a set of vectors a 1,a 2,,a n is said to be linearly independent when the vector equation x 1 a x n a n = 0 only has the trivial solution x 1 = x 2 = = x n = 0. Otherwise, there is a nontrivial solution (that is, at least one of the x s in the solution can be nonzero), and we say that the a s are linearly dependent. Then we have a linear dependence relation amongst the a s. Alternatively, to say that the a s are linearly dependent is to say that the zero vector 0 can be expressed as a nontrivial linear combination of the a s. Determining whether a set of vectors a 1,a 2,,a n is linearly independent is easy when one of the vectors is 0: if, say, a 1 = 0, then we have a simple solution to x 1 a x n a n = 0 given by choosing
3 x 1 to be any nonzero value we please and putting all the other x s equal to 0. Consequently, if a set of vectors contains the zero vector, it must always be linearly dependent. Equivalently, any set of linearly independent vectors cannot contain the zero vector. Another situation in which it is easy to determine linear independence is when there are more vectors in the set than entries in the vectors. If n > m, then the n vectors a 1,a 2,,a n in R m are columns of an m n matrix A. The vector equation x 1 a x n a n = 0 is equivalent to the matrix equation Ax = 0 whose corresponding linear system has more variables than equations. Thus there must be at least one free variable in the solution, meaning that there are nontrivial solutions to x 1 a x n a n = 0: If n > m, then the set { a 1,a 2,,a n } of vectors in R m must be linearly dependent. When n is small we have a clear geometric picture of the relation amongst linearly independent vectors. For instance, the case n = 1 produces the equation x 1 a 1 = 0, and as long as a 1 0, we only have the trivial solution x 1 = 0. A single nonzero vector always forms a linearly independent set.
4 When n = 2, the equation takes the form x 1 a 1 + x 2 a 2 = 0. If this were a linear dependence relation, then one of the x s, say x 1, would have to be nonzero. Then we could solve the equation for a 1 and obtain a relation indicating that a 1 is a scalar multiple of a 2. Conversely, if one of the vectors is a scalar multiple of the other, we can express this in the form x 1 a 1 + x 2 a 2 = 0. Thus, a set of two nonzero vectors is linearly dependent if and only if they are scalar multiples of each other. More generally, we can prove the following Theorem A set { a 1,a 2,,a n } of vectors is linearly dependent if and only if at least one of the vectors a i is a nontrivial linear combination of the others. In fact, if { a 1,a 2,,a n } is a linearly dependent set and a 1 0, then there must be some a j (with j > 1) which is a linear combination of the preceding vectors a 1,a 2,,a j 1. Proof If { a 1,a 2,,a n } is a linearly dependent set, then there are values of the x s, not all 0, that make x 1 a x n a n = 0 true. If we choose the index i corresponding to some nonzero x, then solve the vector equation for a i, this shows that it is a linear combination of the other vectors in the set.
5 Conversely, if a i can be written as a linear combination of the remaining a s, moving a i to the other side of this equation expresses 0 as a nontrivial linear combination of all the a s, so { a 1,a 2,,a n } is a linearly dependent set. Furthermore, if { a 1,a 2,,a n } is a linearly dependent set and a 1 0, then there is a nontrivial solution to x 1 a x n a n = 0. Let j be the largest subscript whose coefficient x j in this equation is nonzero; then in fact, x 1 a x j a j = 0 and we can solve this equation for a j, thereby expressing a j as a linear combination of the preceding collection of vectors a 1,a 2,,a j 1. //
