A set of vectors {v1,v2,...,vk} is linearly independent if the vector equation x1v1 + x2v2 + .......... + xkvk = 0 has only the trivial solution
x1 = x2 = .... = xk =0. Then the set {v1,v2,...,vk} is linearly dependent otherwise.
So putting in the formula we get
x1u1 + x2u2 + x3u3 = 0
x1u1 + x2u2 = -x3u3
au1 + bu2 = u3 ∵ (-x1/x3 = a & -x2/x3 = b)
On putting in the values
a(3,-1) + b(4,5) = (-4,7)
(3a+4b,-a+5b) = (-4,7)
On comparing we get
3a + 4b = -4 -(1)
-a + 5b = 7 -(2)
on solving these equations we get
b = 17/19 and a= -48/19
which is non trivial.
Thus the following form linearly dependent sets of vectors.
