  3. [2 parts, 1 point each] True/False. Justify your answers.

    1. If the columns of A are linearly independent, then A𝐱 = 0 has a unique solution.
    2. If A𝐱 = 𝐛 has a unique solution for at least one vector 𝐛, then the columns of A are linearly independent.
  4. [1 point] Prove that if 𝐱 and 𝐲 are linearly independent but {𝐱,𝐲,𝐳} is linearly dependent, then 𝐳 Span{𝐱,𝐲}.
