part F G 

Consider the following polynomials as vectors from the vector space P3 (R) (Definition 2.13
in the Sheldon's book):
p(z)
= 2³-2z+1
q(z) =
2²-1
r(z)
=
22³-2
=
2²-22+1
t(z) 2³+az²+b,
=
z € R. (When asked about span of a list of vectors, you are expected to express it in the
following form: span(p, q) = {a32³ + a22²-2a3z + (az-a₂) € P3(R) : a3, a2 € R}.)
(a) Are the vectors p, q, r linearly independent?
(b) Are the vectors p, q, r, s linearly independent?
(c) * For what values of a R and b ER the vectors p, t linearly independent?
(d) For what values of a R and b E R the vectors p, q, t linearly independent?
(e) For what values of a € R and b ER the vectors p, q, r, s, t linearly independent?
(f) What is span(q, r)?
What is span(q, r, s)?
