explain (A)linearly dependent and linearly independent (B) coplanar and non coplanar

the system of n vectors x1 ,x2 , x3 ,.........,xn  is said to be linearly dependent if there exist scalars a1 ,a2 ,.......,an not all zero
such that
a1x1 +a2x2 +a3x3 +.........+anxn =0
and the same set of vectors are said to be linearly independent if a1 = a2 =a3 =......=an=0

if two vectors x and y are linearly dependent; x=my where m0

coplanar vectors:

four position vectors a, b , c and d are coplanar if and only if there exists four scalar x,y , z and w , not all zero such that
ax+by+cz+dw=0where  x+y+z+w=0

if a, b and c are linearly independent then they are non coplanar vectors.


hope this helps you
