Class means
. (Note: there is no PLA or algorithm here; the VC dimension has only to do with the hypothesis set.)
At this point you have established that some input vector
is linearly dependent on the others. If you assign the class (
) of the other vectors appropriately, you should be able to show that the linear dependence dictates that the class of
must be (say) +1. This means you cannot implement -1 with the other points having those appropriately chosen classifications, and hence this data set cannot be shattered.
This argument will apply to any data set of d+2 points, and so you cannot shatter any set of d+2 points.

The other vectors refers to the set of linearly independent vectors that make up the d+2th vector. What do you mean by class? Do you mean class of vector, (e.g., unit vector), or class based on the PLA algorithm (i.e., +1 or -1)?
