explain what a basis for a vector space is. How does a basis differ from a span of a vector space? What are some characteristics of a basis? Does a vector space have more than one basis?
Be sure to do this:
A basis B is a subset of the vector space V. The vectors in B are linearly independent and span V.(Most of you got this.) A spanning set S is a subset of V such that all vectors in V are linear combinations of the vectors in S. However, there is no requirement that all vectors in S are used to build vectors in V. The difference between a basis and a spanning set is this: While B is a spanning set, it is a minimal spanning set meaning there are no extra vectors in B. It is the smallest subset of V that meets the two requirement for a basis--linear independence of its vectors and spans V. A vector space can have more than one basis. If you have ever done any linear programming, you know that the Simplex method for solving a linear programming problem required changing the basis in an iterative process. Some additional comments: A basis B for a vector space V is a subset of V. The vectors of B are linearly independent and span V. Thus every vector in V is a linear combination of the vectors in B; that is, V is the span of B. the vector space V can have a multitude of bases ( pronounced baseez) as you have all pointed out, all of the bases have the same number of vectors.
