Most of these problems have fairly short answers---often just one or two lines. The key thing is to understand the question before answering it. This might require you to look back at the definitions of various terms (like `rank' or `linear combination', etc) in order to proceed.

3Blue1Brown is an excellent Youtube channel for math. Among other things, it has a series of videos about linear algebra , including one about vectors. It also has a series about machine learning.
