Exercise 1.5.12

Answers

Since S1 is linearly dependent we have finite vectors x1,x2,,xn in S1 and so in S2 such that a1x1 + a2x2 + + anxn = 0 is a nontrivial representation. But the nontrivial representation is also a nontrivial representation of S2. And the Corollary is just the contrapositive statement of the Theorem 1.6.
