linear dependence

Which one of the following statements is ALWAYS correct about a collection of $p$ column vectors, each having $n$ real-valued entries?

$${q_1},\,{q_2},{q_3},.......{q_m}$$ are $$n$$-dimensional vectors with $$m < n.$$ This set of vectors is linearly dependent. $$Q$$ is the matrix with $${q_1},\,{q_2},{q_3},..........

Consider a second order system whose state space representation is of the form $$\mathop X\limits^ \bullet = AX + BU.$$ If $$\,{x_1}\,\,\left( t \right)\, = {x_2}\,\left( t \right)...
