Determine if a particular vector is in the span of a set of vectors in R^3

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

For $v_1=(1,0,1)$ and $v_2=(0,1,1)$, their span consists exactly of $(a,b,a+b)$. Therefore $(2,-1,1)$ belongs, with coefficients $2,-1$, while $(2,-1,0)$ does not. The equation $z=x+y$ describes this plane in $\mathbb R^3$.
