Question: In each case either show that the statement is true or give an example showing that it is false. (a) Every independent set in Rn

In each case either show that the statement is true or give an example showing that it is false.
(a) Every independent set in Rn is orthogonal.
(b) If {X, Y) is an orthogonal set in Rn, then {X, X + Y) is also orthogonal.
(c) If {X, Y) and {Z, W) are both orthogonal in Rn, then {X, Y, Z, W] is also orthogonal.
(d) If (X1, X2} and [Y1 ,Y2, Y3] are both orthogonal and Xi ∙ Yj = 0 for all i and j, then {X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Y3] is orthogonal.
(e) If {X1 X2,..., Xn] is orthogonal in IR", then Rn = span{X1,X2,...,Xn}.
(f) If X ≠ 0 in Rn, then {X} is an orthogonal set.
