Let V be a Vectorspace over field F spanned by a finite set fo vectors v1,v2,....,vm.Then any Lineraly Independent subset of V is finite and contains a maximum of m elements Solution Let S be any arbitrary subset of V with n elements wi. We need to show that n<=m Enough to Show: S is LD over F such that ai belongs to F where all ai\'s not 0 and Summation of ai*wi = 0 Now as wi belongs to F,we can write wi = summation(aji*vj) Now,there exists n elements xi such that Summation(xi*wn) = 0 Substituting wi value in this equation we get Double Summation((xi*aji)*vj) = 0 It has m equations and n unknowns To solve we need no. of equations >= no. of variables hence n<=m .
