Homework Statement
I need to prove that, if {u;v;w} is a linearly independent set in a
vector space, then the set
{2u + v + w; u + 2v + w; u + v + 2w}
is also linearly independent.
Homework Equations
...
The Attempt at a Solution
if {u;v;w} is a linearly independent set=> c1*u +c2*v+c3*w=0 and c1=c2=c3=0 and also u,v,w are distinct and different from 0.
=>c1(2u + v + w)+ c2(u + 2v + w)+ c3(u + v + 2w)=0,but if I create a system of equations based on this i get u=v=w=0...any help?
