A list of $v$ of one vector $v in V$ is linear independent if and only if $v neq 0$
$begingroup$
Why a list of $v$ of one vector $v in V$ is linear independent if and only if $v neq 0$?
To my understanding, if the only choice of $a_1, ...a_m in mathbb{F}$ that makes $a_1v_1 + ...+ a_mv_m$ equal $0$ is $a_1=...=a_m=0$, then the list $v1,...,v_m$ of vector $V$ is called linear independence.
If so, is it because zero vector itself also counts as one way to makes $a_1v_1 + ...+ a_mv_m$ equal $0$?

Take $vin V$. If $ainmathbb F$, when do we have $av=0$?
- If $vneq0$, that will happen only when $a=0$. Therefore, ${v}$ is linearly independent.
- If $v=0$ then, for instance, $1v=0$. Therefore ${v}$ is linearly dependent.

If $v=0$, then $1cdot v=0$ and since $1neq 0$, $(v)$ is linearly dependent.
If $(v)$ is linearly dependent, then there exists $lambdainmathbb{R}^*$ with $lambda v=0$ and multiplying by $1/lambda$ leads to $v=0$.

If $vneq 0$, then if there is $alphain k$ ($k$ is the ground field) such that $alpha v=0$, then if $alpha=0$ we are done, if not: multiplying by $alpha^{-1}$ we get that $0=alpha^{-1}cdot 0=alpha^{-1}cdotleft(alpha vright)=left(alpha^{-1}alpharight)v=1cdot v=vneq 0$. So that, $leftlbrace vrightrbrace$ is linealy independent.
On the other hand, if $v=0$, taking $alpha=1$, we have that $alpha v=0$, with $alphaneq 0$, then $leftlbrace vrightrbrace$ is linealy dependent.

If $v=0$, then $1cdot v=0$ and since $1neq 0$, $(v)$ is linearly dependent.
If $(v)$ is linearly dependent, then there exists $lambdainmathbb{R}^*$ with $lambda v=0$ and multiplying by $1/lambda$ leads to $v=0$.

If $vneq 0$, then if there is $alphain k$ ($k$ is the ground field) such that $alpha v=0$, then if $alpha=0$ we are done, if not: multiplying by $alpha^{-1}$ we get that $0=alpha^{-1}cdot 0=alpha^{-1}cdotleft(alpha vright)=left(alpha^{-1}alpharight)v=1cdot v=vneq 0$. So that, $leftlbrace vrightrbrace$ is linealy independent.
On the other hand, if $v=0$, taking $alpha=1$, we have that $alpha v=0$, with $alphaneq 0$, then $leftlbrace vrightrbrace$ is linealy dependent.
