Put the vector in a 3x3 determinant and solve it....if the answer = 0 then they are linearly dependents, if it's not = 0, then they are independent....

oh well...here we go...
| 3 4 3 |
| 2 2 2 | now we have the 3x3 determinent...
| 5 6 6 |
3 |2 2| = 3(12 - 12) = (3) ( 0 ) = 0
|6 6|
4 |2 2| = -4(12 - 10) = (-4) (2) = -8
|5 6|
3 |2 2| = 3(12 - 10) = (3) (2) = 6
|5 6|
0 - 8 + 6 = -2
so the answer is -2.... the vectors are linearly independent...
Yippi!....I tought someone would've studied a bit of linear algebra...oh well!....
