Step 1: (i) Analyzing vectors

Analyzing the vectors: \((1, -2, 3, -1)\) and \((1, 1, -2, 3)\). We can see that neither of the vectors is a multiple of the other, so their span will have dimension 2.

Step 2: (i) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by \((1, -2, 3, -1)\) and \((1, 1, -2, 3)\) is 2.

Step 3: (ii) Analyzing vectors

Analyzing the vectors: \((3, -6, 3, -9)\) and \((-2, 4, -2, 6)\). After close examination, we notice that the second vector is \((-2/3)\) times the first vector. This means that these vectors are linearly dependent and the span will only have dimension 1.

Step 4: (ii) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by \((3, -6, 3, -9)\) and \((-2, 4, -2, 6)\) is 1.

Step 5: (iii) Analyzing polynomials

Analyzing the polynomials: \(t^3+2t^2+3t+1\) and \(2t^3+4t^2+6t+2\). We can see that the second polynomial is 2 times the first polynomial, so the polynomials are linearly dependent. Hence, the dimension of their span is 1.

Step 6: (iii) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by \(t^3+2t^2+3t+1\) and \(2t^3+4t^2+6t+2\) is 1.

Step 7: (iv) Analyzing polynomials

Analyzing the polynomials: \(t^3-2t^2+5\) and \(t^2+3t-4\). In this case, neither polynomial can be expressed as a multiple of the other, so their span will have dimension 2.

Step 8: (iv) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by \(t^3-2t^2+5\) and \(t^2+3t-4\) is 2.

Step 9: (v) Analyzing expressions

Analyzing the expressions: \(11 \text{ and } 2 \mid\) and \(11 \text{ and } 21\). Since the expressions are not linearly dependent, their span will have dimension 2.

Step 10: (v) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by \(11 \text{ and } 2 \mid\) and \(11 \text{ and } 21\) is 2.

Step 11: (vi) Analyzing expressions

Analyzing the expressions: $11 \text{ and } 11 \mid -3 \text{ and } -3 \mid \text{ and } \mid{-1} \text{ and } {-1} \mid \\$ \(3 \text{ and } 3 \mid\). These expressions are linearly dependent: the first and the third are equal, as are the second and the fourth. The set will have a dimension of 2.

Step 12: (vi) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by the given expressions is 2.

Step 13: (vii) Analyzing numbers

Analyzing the numbers: 3 and \(-3\). In this case, we have a one-dimensional vector space, so either 3 or \(-3\) spans it. The span will have dimension 1.

Step 14: (vii) Conclusion

The dimension of the vector space spanned by 3 and \(-3\) is 1.
