then A3: 0. V = ((c * u) + ((d * a) * w)) + (e * (b * v)) by RLVECT_1:def 7
.= ((c * u) + ((d * a) * w)) + ((e * b) * v) by RLVECT_1:def 7 ;
then ( d * a = 0 & e * b = 0 ) by A1, Th10;
hence ( c = 0 & d = 0 & e = 0 ) by A1, A2, A3, Th10, XCMPLX_1:6; :: thesis: verum

end;

hence {u,(a * w),(b * v)} is linearly-independent by Th10; :: thesis: verum
