1. Check whether the set of polynomials of the form 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑥 with the operations is a vector
space or not.
(𝑎 + 𝑏𝑥) + (𝑐 + 𝑑𝑥) = (𝑎 + 𝑐) + (𝑏 + 𝑑)𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑘(𝑎 + 𝑏𝑥) = (𝑘𝑎) + (𝑘𝑏)
2. Show that the set V of all pairs of real numbers of the form (1, x ) with the operations
defined as (1, x1 ) + (1, x2 ) = (1, x1 + x2 ) & k (1, x ) = (1, kx ) is a vector space.
5. Check whether the followings are subspaces of 𝑀𝑛𝑛 under the standard operations?
6. Which of the following are subspaces of 𝐹(−∞, ∞) under the standard operations?
i. 𝑊 = { 𝑓/𝑓(𝑥)𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡}
ii. 𝑊 = { 𝑓/𝑓(0) = 2}
iii. 𝑊 = { 𝑓/𝑓(0) = 0}
iv. 𝑊 = { 𝑓/𝑓(𝑥)𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑙 [𝑎, 𝑏]}
v. 𝑊 = { 𝑓/𝑓(𝑥 2 ) = [𝑓(𝑥)]2 }
