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 $mathbb{R}^3$.

Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Lage 2 Geschichte 3 Literatur 4 Weblinks Lage | Der etwa 90 Meter lange Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten befindet sich an der nördlichen Spitze der Altstadtinsel, vor dem Burgtor. Die in einem Bogen durch eine Grünanlage hangaufwärts führende Straße verbindet die Wakenitzmauer mit der Burgtorbrücke. Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich
