So the vectors are
r 1 1
1 s 2
1 2s 2
For which values of $r,s$ in subset $\mathbb R$ is the set $\{u,v,w\}$ linearly independent? I got if $s(rs-1)(2r-1)$, does not equal $0$, thus $r$ cannot equal $1/2$, $rs $ cannot equal $1$ and $s$ cannot equal $0$....but i'm feeling $1%$ confident on my answer because the matrices was difficult to reduce to row echelon form Would appreciate any help, Thankyou!
This was asked yesterday by someone else. See the answer here
