Homework Statement
Show that the two sets of vectors
{A=(1,1,0), B=(0,0,1)}
and
{C=(1,1,1), D=(-1,-1,1)}
span the same subspace of R3.
Homework Equations
{A=(1,1,0), B=(0,0,1)}
{C=(1,1,1), D=(-1,-1,1)}
The Attempt at a Solution
aA+bB=(a,a,0)+(0,0,b)=(a,a,b)
aC+bD=(a,a,a)+(-b,-b,b)=(a-b,a-b,a+b)
I am confused because I thought the answers would turn out to be equal.. Is this not the way to do it?
