PracticeTest2 (S)

This document contains solutions to practice test questions. It summarizes that: 1) The lines given in question 3a are parallel and can only have common points for certain values of a, b, c, so the set S does not span R3. 2) The set S written in question 3b spans P2, as the determinant of the matrix A is not equal to 0. 3) The subspaces u, v, and W in question 4a and 4b satisfy the properties to be a subspace. The three matrices given span W and are linearly independent, forming a basis for W with dimension 3.

PRACTICE TEST 2 (SOLUTION)

Question 3

(a) Let a, b, c k1 2, 1,5 k2 4,2, 10 . Then

2k1 4k 2 a
k1 2 k 2 b
5k1 10k 2 c

The above three lines are parallel and they can only have common points for certain values of
a, b, c . Hence S do not span R 3

(b) Write S { x 2 , 2x 1 , x 2 3 } as S { 0,1,2 , 0,2, 1 , 1,0,3 }

0 0 1
Let A 1 2 0 . Since det(A) 5 0 , S spans P2
2 1 3

Question 4

a1 b1 a2 b2
Let u ,v W.
~ c1 a1 ~ c2 a2
a1 b1 a2 b2 a1 a2 b1 b2
(a) u v W
~ ~ c1 a1 c2 a2 c1 c2 a1 a2

a1 b1 ka1 kb1
(b) ku k W
~ c1 a1 kc1 ka1
a b
Therefore W is a subspace of V. For any matrix W
c a

a b 1 0 0 1 0 0
a b c
c a 0 1 0 0 1 0

1 0 0 1 0 0
The three matrices , , spans W and are linearly independent.
0 1 0 0 1 0

Therefore they form a basis for W and dim(W) = 3
