Question: Let {u, v, w} be a linearly independent set of vectors in a vector space V. (a) Is {u + v, v + w, u

Let {u, v, w} be a linearly independent set of vectors in a vector space V.
(a) Is {u + v, v + w, u + w} linearly independent? Either prove that it is or give a counterexample to show that it is not.
(b) Is {u - v, v - w, u - w} linearly independent? Either prove that it is or give a counterexample to show that it is not.
