Problems to solve:
1. Let P denote the vector space of all polynomials with real coefficients. This is an infinite dimensional vector space. Consider the inner product on P defined by
(f(x), g(x)) = 0∫1 f(x)g(x)dx.
The vector space P2(R) is a subspace of P.
(a) Compute projP_2(R) (x3) and perpP_2(R)(x3).
(b) Give an example of a non-zero polynomial f(x) ∈ P such that projP_2(R)(f(x)) = 0.
(c) Suppose f(x) ∈ P,
0∫1f(x) dx = 0, 0∫1xf(x)dx = 0, 0∫1x2f(x)dx = 1.
Given an example of a polynomial f(x) satisfying these conditions. Is it possible to determine projP_2(R)(f(x)) from the information given? If so, what is it? If not, explain why.
2. Let A be an m x n matrix. Let L: Row(A) →Col(A) be the linear map defined by L(x→) = Ax→. Prove that L is an isomorphism.
3. (a) Let A be an k x n matrix, and leb B be an l x n matrix. Prove that Null(B) = Row(A) if and only if Null(A) = Row(B).
(b) Consider the matrix
Find a matrix B such that Null(B) = Row(A).
(c) Consider the matrix
Find a basis for Row(A) ∩ Row(A').
(Note: the rows of A' are just the rows A in reverse. You may find this helpful.)
4. Let W be the subspace of M2x2(R) spanned by
(a) Find an orthonormal basis for W⊥.
(b) Let S =
Compute s[projW]s and s[perpW]s.
6. Let V be a finite dimensional inner product space, and let W be a subspaces of V. Prove the following statements.
(a) For all x→,y→∈V, (x→,y→) = (projW(x→), projW(y→)) + (perpW(x→), perpW(y→)).
(b) Suppose v→∈V. There exists a vector x→∈W such that (v→, x→) = 1 if and only if v→∉ W⊥.
(c) If dim W = k and dim V = n, then exists a basis β for V such that
Β[projW]β = [e→1 e→2 . . . e→k 0→ 0→ . . . 0→],
(The first k columns of the matrix are standard basis vectors e→1, . . . , e→k ∈ Rn, and the last n - k columns of the matrix are 0→ ∈ Rn.)
