Linear Algebra Theorems

The document proves that the representation of any element in a vector space V in terms of a basis S for V is unique. It first shows that if S is a basis for V, then S must be linearly independent and span V. It then proves that if an element v is in V, its representation in terms of the basis elements S must be unique. Finally, it generalizes this to show that the representation of any element in a vector space in terms of a basis is always unique.

Tom-1:

If S=EV,16,.., v3 is a basis for the vector

space V, then the representation of any element

in V in terms of basis elements is unique.

Proof: If I is a basis fore, then

(i) S is linearly independent

iii) a L(S)=V
spans V.i.e,

unique,
we have the

unique.
