Let V be a vector space over a field F, let v1,v2,v3∈V, and let
u1=v1,u2=2v1+v2, and u3=3v1+2v2+v3,
which are all elements of V.
Prove the following:
• If {v1,v2,v3} is linearly independent, then {u1,u2,u3} is linearly independent.
• If {v1,v2,v3} spans V, then {u1,u2,u3} spans V
Note: I figured out the first part by plugging in the values for {u1,u2,u3} in a linear combination and equating it to zero, proving both the sets are linearly independent. Not sure how to prove that these vectors span the vector space V.
