Chapter 4: Q34E (page 191)

Consider the polynomials \({p_{\bf{1}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} + {t^{\bf{2}}},{p_{\bf{2}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} - {t^{\bf{2}}}\). Is \(\left\{ {{p_{\bf{1}}},{p_{\bf{2}}}} \right\}\) a linearly independent set in \({{\bf{P}}_{\bf{3}}}\)? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The set \(\left\{ {{p_1},{p_2}} \right\}\) is linearly independent in \({{\rm{P}}_3}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the linear combination

Consider the linear combination of \({p_1}\) and \({p_2}\).

\(\begin{array}{c}{c_1}{p_1}\left( t \right) + {c_2}{p_2}\left( t \right) = 0\\{c_1}\left( {1 + {t^2}} \right) + {c_2}\left( {1 - {t^2}} \right) = 0\\{c_1} + {c_1}{t^2} + {c_2} - {c_2}{t^2} = 0\\\left( {{c_1} + {c_2}} \right) + \left( {{c_1} - {c_2}} \right){t^2} = 0\end{array}\)

02

Solve \({c_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({c_{\bf{2}}}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{c_1} + {c_2} = 0\\{c_1} - {c_2} = 0\end{array}\)

Thus, \({c_1} = {c_2} = 0\).

03

Draw a conclusion

This implies, \(\left\{ {{p_1},{p_2}} \right\}\) is linearly independent in \({{\rm{P}}_3}\).

The null space of a \({\bf{5}} \times {\bf{6}}\) matrix A is 4-dimensional, what is the dimension of the column space of A.

Suppose a nonhomogeneous system of six linear equations in eight unknowns has a solution, with two free variables. Is it possible to change some constants on the equations’ right sides to make the new system inconsistent? Explain.

Exercises 23-26 concern a vector space V, a basis \(B = \left\{ {{{\bf{b}}_{\bf{1}}},....,{{\bf{b}}_n}\,} \right\}\) and the coordinate mapping \({\bf{x}} \mapsto {\left( {\bf{x}} \right)_B}\).

Show that the coordinate mapping is onto \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). That is, given any y in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), with entries \({y_{\bf{1}}}\),….,\({y_n}\), produce u in V such that \({\left( {\bf{u}} \right)_B} = y\).

(M) Let \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _5}\) denote the columns of the matrix \(A\), where \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}5&1&2&2&0\\3&3&2&{ - 1}&{ - 12}\\8&4&4&{ - 5}&{12}\\2&1&1&0&{ - 2}\end{array}} \right),B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1}}&{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _2}}&{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _4}}\end{array}} \right)\)

  1. Explain why \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _3}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _5}\) are in the column space of \(B\).
  2. Find a set of vectors that spans \({\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} A\).
  3. Let \(T:{\mathbb{R}^5} \to {\mathbb{R}^4}\) be defined by \(T\left( x \right) = A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \). Explain why \(T\) is neither one-to-one nor onto.

Consider the polynomials \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} + t\), \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{2}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} - t\), \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{3}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{4}}\), \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{4}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} + {t^{\bf{2}}}\), and \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{5}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} + {\bf{2}}t + {t^{\bf{2}}}\), and let H be the subspace of \({P_{\bf{5}}}\) spanned by the set \(S = \left\{ {{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}},\,{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{2}}},\;{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{3}}},\,{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{4}}},\,{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{5}}}} \right\}\). Use the method described in the proof of the Spanning Set Theorem (Section 4.3) to produce a basis for H. (Explain how to select appropriate members of S.)
