Answer

A basis for the subspace is given by $$\{(4,4,8),(0,0,1)\}.$$

Work Step by Step

Let $S$ be given by $$ S=\{(4,4,8),(1,1,2),(1,1,1)\} $$ We form the matrix $$ \left[ \begin {array}{ccccc} 4&4&1\\ 1&1&2\\ 1&1&1 \end {array} \right]. $$ The reduced form of the matrix is given by $$\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} 4&4&8\\ 0&0&1 \\ 0&0&0\end {array} \right].$$ A basis for the subspace is given by $$\{(4,4,8),(0,0,1)\}.$$
