Tutorial 6: SC-116 Algebraic Structures Autumn 2015 (Vector Spaces and Subspaces)

This document provides 5 problems about vector spaces and subspaces: (1) Prove that the set of real sequences with a finite sum of squares is a vector space. (2) Prove that the intersection of two subspaces is a subspace, and their union is a subspace only if one is contained in the other. (3) Determine which of the given sets of functions are subspaces of the vector space of all functions from R to R. (4) Determine which of the given sets of matrices are subspaces of the vector space of all n×n matrices over C. (5) Show that the sets of even and odd functions are subspaces of the vector space
