(Point values are given in the square brackets.) 1. [6] Show (that is, verify all the axioms) that the set of second degree polynomials defined as, ! = = ! + + , , } is a vector space. What is the dimension of this vector space? 2. [4] Consider the set S of 23 matrices defined by, = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , , , 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Find the span of S. 3. [3] Show that ! is a subspace of ! (See Problem #1 for the definition of the polynomial vector spaces.) 4. [3] Do the polynomials ! + 2 + 1, ! + 2, ! + 2, and ! + ! 5 + 2 span ! ? (Give support for your conclusion.) 5. [4] Let S be the set of vectors in ! ( = , , , , ) where, = = = = = , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Find a subset of S that is a basis for the span(S)
