Complete ${(2,3,1),(1,4,3)}$ to a basis of $Bbb R^3$












2












$begingroup$


Having the following set: $C = {(2,3,1),(1,4,3)}$ I want to be able to generate $V = mathbb{R}^3$



Since $V = mathbb{R}^3$ has dimension $3$, $C$ needs $3$ elements. However, how do I find the vector I need to add to $C$ in order to be able to generate $V$?



Is sufficient to have 3 vectors that are Linearly Independent and then I can generate $V$? And how do I find it?



Thank you!

          Take any vector $(a,b,c)$ which is not a linear combination of $(2,3,1)$ and $(1,4,3)$. For instance $(1,0,0)$ will do. Actually, any vector $(a,b,c)$ such that $bneq a+c$ will do.

            This method works in the general case and does not require using the "cross product":



            Let $C=(v_1,v_2)$ as in the question. Choose any basis of $mathbb{R}^3$. For simplicity we shall take $e_1,e_2,e_3$. Then look at



            $(v_1,v_2,e_1)$, $(v_1,v_2,e_2)$ and $(v_1,v_2,e_3)$.



            One of them is necessarily a linearly independent sequence of vectors (this can be checked by hand, for example you can take $e_1$ as in Jose' answer).



            Indeed, if by contradiction all of them were linearly dependent then since $v_1,v_2$ are independent $e_1,e_2,e_3 in text{Span} {v_1,v_2}$. But this would mean that $mathbb{R}^3 = text{Span} {v_1,v_2}$ which is impossible.

            If you have 3 linearly independent vectors, they will span all of $mathbb{R}^3$ (why?).



            To get a third one, easiest way is to construct one perpendicular to them both, which is to take a cross product of the two you have

            Just take the cross product:
            $$(2,3,1) times (1,4,3) = (5,-5,5)$$



            Then ${(2,3,1),(1,4,3),(5,-5,5)}$ is linearly independent and hence a basis for $mathbb{R}^3$.

                    Just take the cross product:
                    $$(2,3,1) times (1,4,3) = (5,-5,5)$$



                    Then ${(2,3,1),(1,4,3),(5,-5,5)}$ is linearly independent and hence a basis for $mathbb{R}^3$.
