The concept of linear combinations in a vector space through examples and matrix equations. Students will learn how to determine if a vector is in the span of given vectors, express all solutions of a matrix equation in parametric vector form, and find nontrivial solutions of the homogeneous equation. Matrices and their corresponding reduced row echelon forms.
