Question 1

1)
Let V be a vector space, F a collection of subspaces of V with the following
property: If X.YE F. then there exists a ZE F such that XUY C Z. Prove
that UrerU is a subspace of V.
Let V be a vector space and assume that U, W are proper subspaces of V
2)
and that U is not a subset of W and W is not a subset of U. Prove that UUWV
is closed under scalar multiplication but is not a subspace of V.
3)
Give an example of a vector space V and non-trivial subspaces X.Y, Z of
V such that V = X@Y =X Z but Y Z. (Hint: You can find examples
in R2.)
4)
Let X, Y, Z be subspaces of a vector space V and assume that Y CX.
Prove that Xn(Y+Z) = Y + (XnZ). This is known as the modular law of
subspaces.
5) For each of the following subsets of F, determine whether it is a subspace of
F: (where F is either C, R,or Q
a)

6) Suppose b ER. Show that the set of continuous real-valued functions f on the
intervai [0,1] such that , f(x) dx = b is a subspace of (C[0,1], R), the collection
of all continuous functions (0,1] from to IR, if and only if b = 0.

7) Suppose that U =
EFx, y E F, , where F is either C, R,or Q. One can
show that U is a subspace of F4you don't have to! Find a subspace V of F
with F = U O V.
