Sep 28, 2017 at 4:43 comment added Ilya Bogdanov $f(v,v,w)=f(1\cdot v+0\cdot w,v,w)=f(2v+w,v,w)-f(v+w,v,w)=0$.
Sep 27, 2017 at 21:37 comment added Ali Taghavi My apology if my question is elementary: but may you apply your statement "Since each linear combination is a sum of two linear combinations with non zero coefficients" to the triple $(v,v,w)$?

Sep 27, 2017 at 19:17 comment added Ilya Bogdanov No, I first explicitly tell that all $\alpha_i$ are nonzero, and second tell that by summing two such expression we can get an arbitrary linear combination, with each coefficient being zero or nonzero on our choice.
Sep 27, 2017 at 17:18 comment added Ali Taghavi Yes but you implicitly assume that all $\alpha_i$ are non zero. i can imagine a resolution for three vector: $2f(v,v,w)=f(v,v.2w+2v)+f(v,v,-2v)=0$. I guess that the general case can be solved, similarly. Yes?
Sep 27, 2017 at 15:05 comment added Ilya Bogdanov You may perform the same for the last two vectors instead of the first two.
Sep 27, 2017 at 14:52 comment added Ali Taghavi Thanks for your answer. How does this argument work for a triple $f(v,v,w)$, for example?
