Assignment 1
Topic: Vector Space and Subspace

1. Show that the set V = {(x, y, z)|x, y, z R and x + y = 11} is not a subspace of R3 .
2. Show that the set V = {(x, y, z)|x, y, z R and x.x = z.z} is not a subspace of R3 .
3. Show that the set V = {(x, y, z)|x, y, z R and x + 2y + z = 0} is a subspace of R3 .
4. Examine whether or not M = {(r, r + 2, 0)|r R} is a subspace of R3 .
5. Examine whether or not M = the set of all polynomials p(x), with p(3) = 0, is a vector space.
6. S = (2, 5, 3) and T = (2, 0, 5) The intersection of span(S) and span(T) is a vector space. Find this
space.
7. Show that {(1, 2, 3), (2, 3, 4), (3, 4, 5)} is not a basis of R3 .
8. Find a basis of R3 containing the vectors (1, 2, 5) and (0,1,2).
9. Assume that v and w are linear independent vectors. Prove that v , w and (v + w) are linear
dependent vectors.
10. Find the coordinates of the vector (3,2,1) relative to the basis ((1,0,2),(2,1,0),(0,3,5)) in R3 .
11. Find the solution space of the linear system:
3x + 2y + 6z = 0
x y + 2z = 0
2x + y + 8z = 0
12. All polynomials p(x) with degree not greater than 2 constitute a vector space V. Replace in (1, 1 +
x2 , b(x)) the polynomial b(x) such that it becomes an ordered basis for that vector space.
13. S = {(2, 5, 3), (1, 0, 2)} and T = {(2, 0, 5), (3, 5, 5)} The intersection of span(S) and span(T) is a
vector space. What is the dimension of that space.
14. Assume that v and w are linear independent vectors. Prove that v and (v + w) are linear independent vectors.
15. Find the condition for r and s such that the vectors (r, 2, s), (r + 1, 2, 1) and (3, s, 1) are linear
dependent.
16. Find, for each m, the solution space of the linear system
3x + 2y + mz = 0
mx y + 4z = 0
2x + y + 3z = 0
17. In the vector space V = R3 , we take a set S = (4, 5, 6), (r, 5, 1), (4, 3, 2) Find the values of r such
that the vector space spanned by S is not V.
18. In R3 we have basis B = ((1, 0, 1), (0, 2, 0), (1, 2, 3)) and a basis C = ((1, 0, 0), (2, 0, 1), (0, 0, 3)) The
coordinates of a vector v relative to B are (x,y,z). The coordinates of a vector v relative to C are
(x,y,z). Write the relation between these coordinates in matrix notation.
19. Let M = span {(1 + m, 4, 2); (5, 6, 1 m)}, N = span {(5 + 2m, 10, 0)} Show that (1 + m, 4, 2)
and (5, 6, 1 m) are linear independent for all real m values. Calculate m such that M+N is not
a direct sum.
