Each vector can be written uniquely as a linear combination of vectors from a given basis.

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

For a basis $B=(b_1,\ldots,b_n)$, every $v$ has an expansion $v=\sum_ic_ib_i$ because $B$ spans. If another expansion existed, subtracting would give a relation; independence forces equality of all coefficients. Thus basis coordinates exist and are unique.
