Use Exercise 35 to show that if A and B are bases for a subspace W of R", then A cannot contain more vectors than B, and, conversely, B cannot contain more vectors than A.


Data from in Exercise 35

Suppose vectors b1,...,bp span a subspace W, and let {a1,...,aq} be any set in W containing more than p vectors. Fill in the details of the following argument to show that {a,...,aq} must be linearly dependent. First, let B = [b1 ... bp] and A = [a1 ... aq].
