Question 1. (1.5 points) To encode a message, we convert the text message into a stream of numerals by associating
each letter with its position in the alphabet: A is 1, B is 2, . . . , Z is 26, and assigning the number 27 to a space between
two words. After that, we break the enumerated message above into a sequence of 3 × 1 column vectors and place them
into a matrix A. Multiplying thismatrix Aby the Encoder K (the key), we obtain the encrypted message B = KA.

Question 3. In R3 with the inner product (x, y) = 2x1 y1 + 2x1 y2 + 2x2 y1 + 3x2 y2 + 4x3 y3 , let
F = {x ∈ R3 |x1 + x2 + 3x3 = 0} be a subspace.
a. (1 point) Find the dimension and a basis for F ⊥ .
a. (0.5 point) How many subscribers will each company have after 2 months?
