EE 650A - Assignment 1 (2020-21-I)

This document contains 6 questions related to linear algebra concepts such as bases, subspaces, and vector spaces. Question 1 asks to find two bases in C4 such that they only share two common vectors. Question 2 asks about conditions on a scalar for vectors to form a basis in C3. Question 3 asks to show that even and odd polynomials are subspaces of the vector space of all polynomials over R. Question 4 asks about subspaces of 2x2 real matrices. Question 5 asks conditions for vectors to form a basis in R4. Question 6 asks to check if given sets are subspaces in R4 and find their bases and dimensions.

Q1.
*Assume that the field is complex. Find two bases in C4 such that the only vectors common to both are (1, 0, 1, 1)
and (1, 0, 0, 0).

Q2.
*Assume that the field is complex.
a) Under what conditions on the scalar ξ do the vectors (1, 0.3, 0.027) and (1, ξ, ξ 3) form a basis of C3 ?
b) Under what conditions on the scalar ξ do the vectors (0, 1, ξ), (ξ, 0, 1) and (3ξ, 0.5, 3 + 0.5ξ) form a basis
of C3 ?

Q3.
A polynomial x is called even if x(−t) = x(t) identically in t and is called odd if x(−t) = −x(t). Show that
both the class M of even polynomials and the class N of odd polynomials are subspaces of the vector space P
of all polynomials. Assume the field is R.

Q4.
W1 and W2 are sets of 2 × 2 real matrices and are defined as follows:
  
α β
W1 = α = γ, β = δ
γ δ
  
α β
W2 = α=γ=β=δ
γ δ

Are W1 , W2 and W1 ∩ W2 subspaces of the 2 × 2 real matrices space A? If yes, what are the dimensions?

Q5.
Under what conditions on the scalars α, β, γ and δ will the vectors (α, 0, δ, 0), (0, β, 0, γ), (α, β, 0, 0) and
(γ, δ, 0, 0) form a basis for R4 ?

Q6.
Assume that the field is real. Check whether the following sets are subspace or not? If yes, find the basis vectors
and dimension of the subspace.
1. M1 = {x = (α1 , α1 , α2 , α3 ) ∈ R4 }
2. M2 = {x = ( ni=1 αi , α1 , α2 , α3 ) ∈ R4 }
P

3. M3 = {x = (0, α1 , α2 , 0) ∈ R4 }
4. M4 = {x = (α1 , −α1 , −α2 , α2 ) ∈ R4 }
