Question 1: Suppose v1 , v2 , · · · , vm are linearly dependent vectors in V . Suppose also that


W ̸= 0. Prove that there exist w1 , w2 , · · · , wm in W such that no T ∈ L(V, W ) satisfies
T (vk ) = wk for each k = 1, 2, · · · , m.

Question 2: Suppose V is finite-dimensional. Prove that every linear map on a subspace


U of V can be extended to a linear map on V .

Question 3: Suppose v1 , v2 , · · · , vm are vectors in V . Define T ∈ L(Fm , V ) by


T (z1 , · · · , zm ) = z1 v1 + · · · + zm vm
(a) What property of T corresponds to v1 , v2 , · · · , vm spanning V ?
(b) What property of T corresponds to v1 , v2 , · · · , vm being linearly independent?

Question 4: Suppose V and W are finite-dimensional with 2 ≤ dimV ≤ dimW . Show


that {T ∈ L(V, W ) : T is not injective } is not a subspace of L(V, W ).

Question 5: Suppose w1 , · · · , wn is a basis of W and V is finite-dimensional. Suppose


T ∈ L(V, W ). Prove that there exists a basis v1 , · · · , vm of V such that all the entries in
the first row of M(T ) (with respect to the bases v1 , · · · , vm and w1 , · · · , wn ) are 0 except
for possibly 1 in the first row, first column.

Question 6: Give an example of a vector space V and subspaces U1 , U2 of V such that


U1 × U2 is isomorphic to U1 + U2 but U1 + U2 is not a direct sum.

Question 7: Prove that a nonempty subset A of V is an affine subset of V if and only if


λv + (1 − λ)w ∈ A for all v, w ∈ A and all λ ∈ F.

Question 8: Suppose U is a subspace of V such that V /U is finite-dimensional. Prove


that there exists a subspace W of V such that dim(W ) = dim(V /U ) and V = U ⊕ W .

Question 9: Suppose W1 , · · · , Wm are vector spaces. Prove that L(V, W1 × · · · × Wm ) and


L(V, W1 ) × · · · × L(V, Wm ) are isomorphic vector spaces.

Question 10: Suppose V1 , · · · , Vm are vector spaces. Prove that (V1 × · · · × Vm )∗ and
V1∗ × · · · × Vm∗ are isomorphic vector spaces.

Question 11: Show that (P (R))′ and R∞ are isomorphic.

Question 12: Suppose U is a subspace of V . Let π : V → V /U be the usual quotient map.


Thus π ∗ ∈ L((V /U )∗ , V ∗ ).
(a) Show that π ∗ is injective.
(b) Show that range(π ∗ ) = U o .
(c) Conclude that π ∗ is an isomorphism from (V /U )∗ onto U o .
