Note t Question no. 7 is compulsory. Attempt any four
questionsfrom the questions no. 1 to 6,
No calculatorsare allowed.

1. (a) Check whether or not A = {x, 1 - x, 1 + *'l is a

basis of P, the space of renl polynomials of degree
at most 2. If A is a basis of P, find its dual.
Otherwise, obtain a basisof P z.

(b) Find the minimal polynomial of the linear operator T

on *:, defined by
T (xt , xz, *g) = (xr \2, n
0, xl + *3). 3

 (c) Give an example of a self-adjoint linear operator on

C2, with justification.

2. (a) Can we use Cramer's rule to solve the following

equations? Give reasonsfor your answer.If yes, use
the rule to solve this system. Otherwise, use the
GaussianElimination Processto find the solution of
this system. 5

such that p-lA p is a diagonal matrix. If A is not
diagonalisable,alter its third row, so that the new
matrix becomesdiagonalisable.

(b) Find an orthonormal basis of the subspace of p3

generatedby (1, 0, -3) and (3, -1, 0).
