(iii) Check the properties of vector space from the definition.
(iv) Check the closure property of vector addition.

(iv) Give a counterexample where det(A1 + A2 ) 6= 0, but det(Ai ) = 0.
(v) (a1 , 0, c1 ), (0, b2 , c2 ) ∈ S, but their sum need not be there in S.
(vi) W is a subspace of R3 , but W is not a subspace of C3 .
(vii) U is a subspace of Mn×n (R).
3. (a) Every subspace contains the null vector (the additive identity) and for the converse
use the linearity of integration.
(b) Take g(x) = αf1 (x) + βf2 (x) and show that g 0 (−1) = 3g(2).
4. Verify the subspace criteria. What about W1 as x-axis and W2 as y-axis in R2 ?
5. (a) For E = αA + βB + γC, find α, β and γ.
(b) Take p = αp1 + βp2 + γp3 and find α, β and γ.
(c) Take each vector as αu + βv and solve for α and β.
6. Solve the expression u3 = αu1 + βu2 for some α, β ∈ R.
7. (a) Find the scalars α, β, γ, δ such that α(v1 − v2 ) + β(v2 − v3 ) + γ(v3 − v4 ) + δv4 =
av1 + bv2 + cv3 + dv4 holds.
(b) Find the scalars α, β, γ such that αu1 + β(u1 + u2 ) + γ(u1 + u2 + u3 ) = au1 + bu2 + cu3
holds.
8. (a) Linearly independent. Take c1 (4, −4, 8, 0)+c2 (2, 2, 4, 0)+c3 (6, 0, 0, 2)+c4 (6, 3, −3, 0) =
(0, 0, 0, 0) and c1 = c2 = c3 = c4 = 0 is the only solution.
(b) Linearly dependent. Consider c1 ·2+c2 ·4 sin2 x+c3 ·cos2 x = 0, and then differentiate
it with respect to x two times and find the values of ci from these three equations.
(c) Linearly dependent. Follow the same steps as (b).
9. In each of the intervals [−1, 0] and [0, 1], one has that f1 = cf2 for some scalar c, but in
the interval [−1, 1], do you get the same?
