$A$, a linearly independent subset of a subspace $S$; $xnotin S$; show $Acup{x}$ is linearly independent












0












$begingroup$



Let $A$ be a linearly independent subset of a subspace $S$.

If $xnotin S$, show that $Acup{x}$ is linearly independent.




Theorem:
Let $B$ be linearly independent and $ynotin B$. Then, $Bcup{y}$ is linearly dependent iff $yin Span(B)$.


Using this theorem, I get that-
$A$ is linearly independent and $xnotin SRightarrow xnotin A$.

So, $Acup{x}$is linearly independent iff $xnotin Sp(A)$.


Therefore, it should be enough to show that-
$Asubseteq S$ (where, $A$ is linearly independent) and $xnotin S$
$Rightarrow xnotin Sp(A)$ $_{...(1)}$
$Rightarrow Acup{x}$ is linearly independent $_{...(2)}$




My question is, if my approach is correct how should I prove $(1)$ because $(2)$ obviously follows from there. Or is my approach incorrect?

[There are similar questions on the site, but I couldn't find one for my approach.]

    According to your approach, take $A = S = leftlbrace left( 1, 0 right) rightrbrace$ in $mathbb{R}^2$. Now, take $x = left( 2, 0 right) notin S$. Is the set $S cup leftlbrace x rightrbrace$ linearly independent? Talking of ($1$) you mentioned, is $left( 2, 0 right) notin text{Span } left( S right)$?

    Well, according to the statement you need to prove, it is already given to you that $x notin text{Span } left( S right)$. So, you need to start with it. If it is not in the span, what can you say about the dependence equation?
