Notations:
• Mm,n denotes the set of all m × n matrices with entries from R.
• Pn denotes the vector space of polynomials of degree at most n with real coeffi-
cients.
Consider vector spaces over R only. If nothing is mentioned about
the operations on the vector spaces, assume them to be standard
addition and scalar multiplication.
(1) Determine whether the set, together with the standard operations,
is a vector space. If it is not, identify at least one of the ten vector
space axioms that fails.
(a) M2×3 .
(b) The set of all degree 3 polynomials.  
a b
(d) The set of 2 × 2 matrices of the form .
c 0
(e) The set {(x, y) : x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0} in R2 .
(f) The set {(x, y) : x < 0, y > 0} in R2 .  
a b
(g) The set of 2 × 2 matrices of the form .
c 1
(2) Determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is
true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from the text. If
a statement is false, provide an example that shows the statement is
not true in all cases or cite an appropriate statement from the text:
(a) The set of integers is a vector space over R.
(b) To show that a set is not a vector space, it is sufficient to show
that just one axiom is not satisfied.
(c) In a vector space, the zero vector must exist and it should be
unique.
(d) In a vector space, additive inverse of an element need not be
unique.
(e) The set of rational numbers is a vector space over R.

(3) Consider the vector space M2,2 . Which of the following subsets are
subspaces of M2,2 ?
(a) Set of symmetric matrices.
(b) Set of singular matrices.
(c) Set of scalar matrices.
1
(d) Set of skew-symmetric matrices.
(e) Set of invertible matrices.
(f) Set of diagonal matrices.
(g) Set of triangular matrices.

(4) Determine if the given set is subspace of the mentioned vector space.
Justify.
(a) Set {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x + y = 0} in the vector space R2 .
(b) Set {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 : x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1} in the vector space R3 .
(c) Set {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x = 0} in the vector space R2 .
(d) Set {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 : x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 0} in the vector space R3 .

(5) Let V be the set of all solutions of a system of m homogeneous linear


equations in n variables with real coefficients. Is it a subspace of Rn ?
Justify.

(6) Check if is linear combination of and
