1. Test whether the given algebraic structure forms a vector space with
respect to given operations. If not, write all the properties which fails.
Notation: In what follows, F will always denote a field.

(a) F = R, V = R2 . For (a1 , a2 ), (b1 , b2 ) ∈ R2 and α ∈ R, define

(a1 , a2 )+(b1 , b2 ) := (a1 +2b1 , a2 +3b2 ), and α(a1 , a2 ) := (αa1 , αa2 ).

(b) F = R, V = R2 . Define addition of elements of V coordinatewise,


and for α ∈ R and (a1 , a2 ) ∈ V , define the scalar multiplication
in following ways
i. α(a1 , a2 ) = (αa1 , 0)
ii. α(a1 , a2 ) = (αa1 , α2 a2 )
iii. α(a1 , a2 ) = (αa1 , a2 )
(c) Let F = C and V = Mn×m (C) be the set of all n × m-matrices
with entries in C equipped with the usual addition and scalar
multiplication. Explore the case when we take F = R ?
(d) Let F = C and V = Pn [x] = {a0 + a1 x + · · · + an xn | ai ∈ C, i =
0, . . . , n} be equipped with usual addition and scalar multiplica-
tion.
(e) Let F = R and (V, +) = (R>0 , ·). We define scalar multiplication
on R>0 as follows. For α ∈ R and a ∈ R>0 , define α · a = aα .
(f) Let F = R and V = {f (x + t) | t ∈ R}, where f : R → R is a
function defined as f (x) = xm , and m is a positive odd integer.
Define

f (x + t1 ) + f (x + t2 ) := f (x + t1 + t2 ) and α · f (x + t) := f (x + αt).

What about the case when m is a positive even integer ?


(g) Let X be a set, and V = F(X, F ) = {f : X → F | f is a map}.
Define (f + g)(x) := f (x) + g(x) and (α · f )(x) = αf (x), where
x ∈ X, f, g ∈ F(X, F ) and α ∈ F .

2. Test whether W is a subspace of a vector space V over a field F . If
not, justify your answer!

(a) F = R, V = R3 .
i. W1 = {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 | x = 3y and z = −y}
ii. W2 = {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 | 5x − 2y + 4z 2 = 0}
(b) F = R, V = Pn [x] = {a0 +a1 x+· · ·+an xn | ai ∈ R, i = 0, . . . , n},
for n ≥ 1.
i. W1 = {f (x) ∈ Pn [x] | f (x) = 0 or f (x) has degree n}
ii. W2 = {f (x) ∈ Pn [x] | a2 = a3 = 0}, where n ≥ 3.
(c) F = C, V = Mn×n (C).
i. W1 = {A ∈ Mn×n (C) | At = A}, where At denote the conju-
gate of transpose of A.
ii. W2 = {A ∈ Mn×n (C) | AB = BA ∀B ∈ Mn×n (C)}
(d) V = F(X, F ), where X ̸= ∅. Choose x0 ∈ X.
i. W1 = {f ∈ F(X, F ) | f (x0 ) = 0}
ii. W2 = {f ∈ F(X, F ) | f (x0 ) = 1}
