Question 1159897: Let v1= [-1, 4, -2, 2].v2 = [2, -10, 6, -1].v3 = [-7, 26, -14, 23],v4 = [0, -2, 1, 6]
Determine whether or not the three vectors listed above are linearly independent or linearly dependent.
If they are linearly dependent, determine a non-trivial linear relation. Otherwise, if the vectors are linearly independent, enter 0's for the coefficients, since that relationship always holds.

Let v1= [-1, 4, -2, 2].v2 = [2, -10, 6, -1].v3 = [-7, 26, -14, 23],v4 = [0, -2, 1, 6]
Determine whether or not the three vectors listed above are linearly independent or linearly dependent.
If they are linearly dependent, determine a non-trivial linear relation. Otherwise, if the vectors
are linearly independent, enter 0's for the coefficients, since that relationship always holds.

Looking in the post,  I see  4  (four,  FOUR)  vectors here,  while the question is about  3  (three,  THREE)  vectors.


I feel myself slightly uncomfortable . . .


If you are not able to post your problem correctly, why I . . . (and so on . . . )


This question relates to the university topic on Linear algebra,  but the person who composed this  "problem",
has difficulties counting from  1  to  4 ?
