(30) 1. Let A = [v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , v 4 ] =

 (^) with reduced row echelon form R =

0 1 −^1414

(a) Find a basis for R(A), the row space of A.

(b) Find a basis for C(A), the column space of A.

(c) Find a basis for N (A), the null space of A.

(d) Find all possible linear combinations of the vectors v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , v 4 that sum to 0.

(e) Which vj 's are redundant in the list of vectors v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , v 4?

(16) 2. Use the Subspace Test to decide if W is a subspace of the vector space V , where (a) V = R^3 and W = {(a, b, a − b + 1) | a, b ∈ R}

(b) V = C[0, 1], the continuous functions on [0, 1] and W = {f (x) | f (x) ∈ C [0, 1] and f (1) = 0}.

(10) 3. Assume that 1 + x, x + x^2 , 1 − x is a basis of P 2 , the space of polynomials of degree at most two, and nd the coordinates of 2 + x^2 relative to this basis.

(16) 6. Fill in the blanks or answer True/False (T/F).

(a) Every vector space is nite dimensional (T/F).

(b) Elementary row operations on a matrix do not change the column space (T/F).

(c) If x = x 0 and x = x 1 are both vector solutions to the linear system Ax = b, then x 1 − x 0 is in the null space of A. (T/F).

(d) The function T : R^2 → R^2 given by T ((x, y)) = (x + y, x − 2 y) is linear (T/F) and one-to-one (T/F).

(e) The Basis Theorem asserts that every nite dimensional vector space.

(f) The Dimension Theorem asserts that.

(g) If A is a 5 × 5 matrix and det (A) = 2, then the rst 4 columns of A span a 4 dimensional subspace of R^5 (T/F).

(10) 7. (a) Show from denition of linear dependence that the columns of the matrix

form a linearly dependent set.

(b) (Honors students only) Prove that any set of vectors v 1 , v 2 ,... , vn in a vector space V that contains the zero vector is a linearly dependent set.
