(Solved):
#5 Linear Independence and Spanning Suppose \( V \) has a basis \( \beta=\{\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, ...
#5 Linear Independence and Spanning Suppose \( V \) has a basis \( \beta=\{\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}\} \) (distinct vectors). Let \( S=\{\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}, \mathbf{w}+\mathbf{u}\} \) and \( T=\{\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{u}-\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}\} \). Additional Assumption: \( \operatorname{char}(\mathbb{F}) \neq 2 \). (a) Prove \( S \) is linearly independent (using the definition of independence). (b) Prove \( T \) spans \( V \) (using the definition of span). (c) Is \( S \cup T \) linearly independent? Does it span \( V \) ? Explain. (d) Is \( S \cap T \) linearly independent? Does it span \( V \) ? Explain.
