Exercise SS.M20 Robert Beezer

In Example SCAD we began with the four columns of the coefficient matrix of Archetype D, and used these columns in a span construction. Then we methodically argued that we could remove the last column, then the third column, and create the same set by just doing a span construction with the first two columns. We claimed we could not go any further, and had removed as many vectors as possible. Provide a convincing argument for why a third vector cannot be removed.
