Show that the set [(3,-2,4),(1,2,-1), (-6,4,-8) is linearly dependent by writing a non-trivial liner combination of the vectors that equals the zero vector.

Question

After some calculations I got t1=2, t2=0 and t3=1, but its my understanding that if a set is dependent, none of the t's can equal 0. Is this correct?
