To prove that three vectors \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \text{ and } \vec{c}\) are coplanar if and only if there exists a non-zero linear combination \(x\vec{a} + y\vec{b} + z\vec{c} = \vec{0}\), we will break down the proof into two parts: 1. **If \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \text{ and } \vec{c}\) are coplanar, then there exists a non-zero linear combination \(x\vec{a} + y\vec{b} + z\vec{c} = \vec{0}\).** 2. **If there exists a non-zero linear combination \(x\vec{a} + y\vec{b} + z\vec{c} = \vec{0}\), then \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \text{ and } \vec{c}\) are coplanar.** ### Step 1: Proving that coplanarity implies a non-zero linear combination **Assumption:** Let \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \text{ and } \vec{c}\) be coplanar. ...
