Definition
If v1, . . . , vp are in Rn, then the
set of all linear combinations
of v1, . . . , vp is denoted by
Span {v1, . . . , vp } and is called
the subset of Rn spanned (or
generated) by v1, . . . , vp .
Definition
That is, Span {v1, . . . , vp }
is the collection of all
vectors that can be written
in the form c1v1 + c2v2 + …. +
cpvp, with c1, . . . , cp scalars.
Question?
Whether a vector b is in Span
{v1, . . . , vp } ?
