In Exercises 1–4, determine if the vectors are linearly independent. Justify each answer.
3. By comparing entries of the vectors, one sees that the second vector is –3 times the first vector. Thus,
the two vectors are linearly dependent.
In Exercises 5–8, determine if the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set. Justify each
answer.
In the following exercises, find the value(s) of h for which the vectors are linearly dependent. Justify
each answer.
;
In the following exercises , with T defined by T (x) = Ax, find a vector x whose image under T is b,
and determine whether x is unique.

In the following exercise, the given matrix determines a linear transformation T . Find all x such that
T (x) = 0.
In the following exercise, assume that T is a linear transformation. Find the standard matrix of T .
Solution:
Fill in the missing entries of the matrix, assuming that the equation holds for all values of the variables.
