LINEAR INDEPENDANCE
Test of Linear Dependency / Independency of vectors:
Vectors (matrices) X 1 , X 2 , X 3 ,....., X n are said to be linearly dependent
(1) All the vectors (row or column matrices) are of same order.
(2) n scalars 1 , 2 , 3 ,....., n (not all zero) exist i.e at least one i  0
such that X11  X 22  X 33  .....  X nn  0

and linearly independent if X 11  X 22  X 33  .....  X nn  0 has trival

solution i.e all i  0 are zero.

Example :
Examine for the linear dependence [1,0,2,1], [3,1,2,1], [4,6,2,-4], [-6,0,-3.-4]
and Find the relation between them if possible.
Solution: Consider the matrix equation

2  3t  0  2  3t ,
1  9t  2t  6t  0  1  t
Substituting the values of 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 in (I), we get
