Free coordinate from a basis vector

Let V be the subspace spanned by the vectors in the real vector space . Which of the following vectors are in V?

  1. A.(1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
  2. B.(0, 0, 1, 2, 4)
  3. C.(1, 0, 1, 0, 1)
  4. D.(1, 0, 1, 0, 2)

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
