TermThis exampleWhy
basis ✗ Both point along the $x$-axis, so no combination of them gives $(0, 1)$.
linearly independent ✗ The vectors $(1, 0)$ and $(2, 0)$ are not linearly independent, because $(2, 0) = 2 (1, 0)$.
orthogonal ✗ The vectors $(1, 0)$ and $(2, 0)$ are not orthogonal, because their dot product is $1 \cdot 2 + 0 \cdot 0 = 2$.
pairwise linearly independent ✗ The vectors $(1, 0)$ and $(2, 0)$ are not pairwise linearly independent, because $(2, 0) = 2 \cdot (1, 0)$.
orthonormal ✗ The vectors $(1, 0)$ and $(2, 0)$ are not orthonormal, because their dot product is $2$.
