Ar. Thus the linear independence of vectors a1, a2, . . , ar can also be defined as follows: Definition 1-11. Vectors a1, a2, . . , ar are linearly independent if their linear combination vanishes only in case of c1 = c2 = . . = cr = 0. That is, vectors a1, a2, . . , ar are linearly independent if (1-24) implies c1 = c2 = . . = cr = 0. Example 1-18 Vectors a1 = ΄΅ 1 0 ; 0 a2 = ΄΅ 0 1 ; 0 a3 = ΄΅ 0 0 1 are linearly independent because their linear combination c1·a1 + c2·a2 + . . + cr·ar = ΄΅΄΅΄΅΄΅ c1 0 + 0 0 c2 0 + 0 0 c3 is zero only if c1 = c2 = .
Am2 ... . . a1n a2n . . amn ΅ is called an m × n matrix with the numbers aij as its elements. The following notation will be used for a matrix: A = [aij] i = 1, 2, . . , m; j = 1, 2, . . , n where subscripts i and j denote the rows and columns, respectively. By interchanging the rows and columns of a matrix we get the transpose of the matrix denoted by AT. Thus we write AT = [aji].

Thus, although in general an infinite number of solutions exists (if n > r), only n – r of them are independent. Example 1-23 How many solutions and how many linearly independent solutions exist for the system discussed in Example 1-22? Since x3 can be any number, therefore by (c) of Example 1-22, there are an infinite number of solutions. The number of selectable unknowns is n – r = 3 – 2 = 1, therefore the number of linearly independent solutions is 1. ⇑ MATHEMATICAL PRELIMINARIES 21 · (a) Example 1-24 Given the system 5·x1 + 6·x2 + 7·x3 + 8·x4 = 0 2·x1 + 3·x2 + 7·x3 + 4·x4 = 0 3·x1 + 6·x2 + 8·x3 – 4·x4 = 0 3·x1 + 3·x2 – 7·x3 – 5·x4 = 0 How many selectable and dependent unknowns exist, and what is the solution of this homogeneous system?
