Some vector spaces

The GAP code

vecs:=[[1,0,0],[1,1,1],[0,1,1]];
V:=VectorSpace(Rationals,vecs);
GeneratorsOfVectorSpace(V);
B:=Basis(V);
dim:=Length(B);
constructs the vector space over $ \mathbb{Q}$ spanned by the vectors $ (1,0,0),(1,1,1),(0,1,1)$ , finds a basis, and computes its dimension.

Exercise 3.14.1   Construct the vector space over $ \mathbb{Q}$ spanned by the vectors $ (1,0,0),(1,1,1),(0,-1,1)$ , find a basis, and compute its dimension. Do the same, but with $ \mathbb{Q}$ replaced by $ GF(3)$ .
