Define what it means for a set of vectors in a vector space VV to be linearly dependent. Prove from the definition that any set of n+1n+1 vectors in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} is linearly dependent.

Using this or otherwise, prove that if VV has a finite basis consisting of nn elements, then any basis of VV has exactly nn elements.

Let VV be the vector space of bounded continuous functions on R\mathbb{R}. Show that VV is infinite dimensional.
