Work Step by Step

Given: $v_1=(1,1,-1)\\ v_2=(2,1,3)\\ v_3=(-2,-2,2)$ Let $a,b$ be scalars Obtain: $av_1+bv_2\\=av_1+bv_2+0\\=av_1+bv_2+0v_3\\ \rightarrow v \in span \{v_1,v_2\} \in S\\ \rightarrow span \{v_1,v_2\} \subset S$ We can notice that $-2v_1=-2(1,1,-1)=(-2,-2,2)=v_3$ then $av_1+bv_2+c(-2v_1)\\ =av_1+bv_2-2cv_1\\ =(a-2c)v_1+bv_2\\ \rightarrow v \in span \{v_1,v_2\}\\ \rightarrow S\in span \{v_1\}$ Geometrically span $\{v_1,v_2\}=S$ and $S$ is spanned by $v_1$ and $v_2$
