Question 30580: I want to find about(three things)the set, W={(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1),(-7,8,-9)}
Is this linearly dependent? Does this spans R3? Is this a basis for R3?
I think this set spansR3 because the first three vectors span R3, so adding the last one does not change it. Also, I think it is linearly dependent as there are nontrivial solutions. But, I am not sure if it is not a vasis for R3. Could you give me advice???

Question 30983: Let P be the vector space of polynomials in "t" with real coefficients. Show that the inner product < f,g > = the integration from -1 to 1 of f(t)g(t)dt defines an inner product on P.
I went to speak with my professor about this but I am still not sure what the question even means. I understand inner products and integration, and how integration can be used to represent inner products, but this question is giving me blanks. Also, if you find the textbook, is this question like Example 7 on page 434 in Chapter 6 only with different numbers>
