The problem asks to find the dimension of the subspace \( H \) spanned by the set of vectors given as:

\[
\left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ -1 \\ -2 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \\ 5 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix} \right\}
\]

To determine the dimension of \( H \), we will solve the problem by forming an augmented matrix with these vectors as columns, and then row-reducing the matrix to determine its rank, which will give us the dimension of the subspace \( H \). The vectors form the following matrix:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix}
0 & -1 & 2 & 0 \\
1 & -1 & 3 & 1 \\
1 & -2 & 5 & 1 \\
-1 & 2 & -5 & -2
\end{bmatrix}
\]

Let's row-reduce this matrix to find the rank.

I will now proceed with the row-reduction process.The rank of the matrix is 3, which means that the dimension of the subspace \( H \) is 3.

Now, to determine a basis for \( H \), we need to find 3 linearly independent vectors from the original set of vectors. Since the rank is 3, these vectors span the subspace. One way to find the basis is to examine the row-reduced form of the matrix, but since the rank is 3, any 3 linearly independent columns will form a basis.

Would you like a step-by-step guide to determining the basis, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
1. How can we verify if a set of vectors is linearly independent?
2. What is the geometric interpretation of the dimension of a subspace?
3. How would the process change if the vectors spanned a higher-dimensional space?
4. How can we confirm if a vector belongs to a given subspace?
5. What is the relationship between the rank of a matrix and the number of pivot columns?

**Tip:** The dimension of a subspace is equivalent to the number of linearly independent vectors that span it, which can be determined by the rank of the matrix formed by the vectors.

Let H denote the span of the given set of vectors and determine its dimension and a basis.

Solve the problem of determining the dimension and a basis of a subspace spanned by the given vectors using linear algebra techniques. Learn to form the augmented matrix, perform row-reduction, and calculate the rank, which gives the dimension of the subspace. Suitable for university-level students.
