Theorems
The definition of dependent is that the linear combination can be equal to the zero vector even when the weights are not all zero
This can still happen if the vectors are not multiples of zero

-
The proof is that when there are more vectors than entries there must be a free variable which allows us to get the zero vector even when the weights aren't all zero
-

Theorem 8 says nothing about the case in which the number of vectors in
the set does not exceed the number of entries in each vector :red_flag:
This means if there aren't more vectors than entries we can't say it's independent or dependent based off this theorem
The definition of dependent again is
\(c_1v_1+c_2v_2+...c_nv_n=0 \)
where not all the weights are zero
But if one vector is the zero vector then we can make its weight non zero while all the other weights are zero for the vector and we'll end up with the zero vector
