1. Let V be an n -dimensional vector space and let W C V be an m -dimensional subspace. For each v E V, define Sy = {v+w:w€ W}, and let

and define scalar multiplication so that for any k E R

It can be shown that U is vector space (you do not need to prove this).
(a) Explain why the zero vector in U is a subspace of V.
(b) Prove, by induction, that for any k > 1 and any choice of c1, ..., Ck ER and x1, ..., X E V, if v = E C;X; then
Sy = c;Sx,
i=1
(c) What is dim(U)? (Hint: Consider a basis for V which contains a basis for W, and use it to construct a basis for U.)
(d) Let T: V →V' be a linear transformation. Let W
ker(T), let U be as defined above, and for each v E V define
=
$(Sv) = T(v) (*)
Since it is possible for Sy = Sw with v w, it is not immediately clear that o is well defined. Prove that (*) does indeed define a function
$: U → V', by showing that for any x, y E V satisfying Sx = Sy we have (Sx) = ¢(Sy).
(e) Show that ø is linear.
(f) For what values of dim(V') is ø injective?
