\left( For example, the spaces of all functions deﬁned from R to R has addition and multiplication by a scalar deﬁned on it, but it is not a vectors space. with vector spaces. \end{bmatrix} Our mission is to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Problems and solutions 1. 1.They are baking potatoes. Definition: If $Ax = b$ is a linear system, then every vector $x$ which satisfies the system is said to be a Solution Vector of the linear system. 1 a & 1 b \\ r s a & r s b \\ 4. The vector $$\begin{pmatrix}0\\0\end{pmatrix}$$ is not in this set. Again, the properties of addition and scalar multiplication of functions show that this is a vector space. Some examples of vector spaces are: (1) M m;n, the set of all m nmatrices, with component-wise addition and scalar multiplication. \\\\ = c'+c & d'+d \end{bmatrix} r \left( s \begin{bmatrix} The following are examples of vector spaces: Example 2 Proove that the set of all 2 by 2 matrices associated with the matrix addition and the scalar multiplication of matrices is a vector space.Solution to Example 2 Let $$V$$ be the set of all 2 by 2 matrices.1) Addition of matrices gives$$\begin{bmatrix} Examples 1.Any vector space has two improper subspaces: f0gand the vector space itself. a' & b' \\ Therefore (x;y;z) 2span(S). 0 0 0 0 S, so S is not a subspace of 3. One can always choose such a set for every denumerably or non-denumerably infinite-dimensional vector space. or in words, all ordered pairs of elements from \(V$$ and $$W$$. A scalar is a rank-0 tensor, a vector is rank-1, a vector space is rank-2, and beyond this tensors are referred to only by their rank and are considered high-rank tensors. (r + s ) c & (r + s ) d The null space is defined to be the solution set of Ax = 0, so this is a good example of a kind of subspace that we can define without any spanning set in mind. The set of all functions $$\textbf{f}$$ satisfying the differential equation $$\textbf{f} = \textbf{f '}$$, Linear Algebra and its Applications - 5 th Edition - David C. Lay , Steven R. Lay , Judi J. McDonald, Elementary Linear Algebra - 7 th Edition - Howard Anton and Chris Rorres. Some examples of in–nite-dimensional vector spaces include F (1 ;1), C (1 ;1), Cm (1 ;1). c' & d' a'' & b'' \\ By taking combinations of these two vectors we can form the plane $$\{ c_{1} f+ c_{2} g | c_{1},c_{2} \in \Re\}$$ inside of $$\Re^{\Re}$$. From these examples we can also conclude that every vector space has a basis. c & d \end{bmatrix} \end{bmatrix} \right) + r \left(\begin{bmatrix} The sum of any two solutions is a solution, for example, $\) this equation involves sums of 2 by 2 matrices and multiplications by real numbers, $$2 P(x) +3(2 x - 3) = -2(x^2 - 2x - 5)$$ this equation involves sums of polynommials and multiplications by real numbers. The operation + (vector addition) must satisfy the following conditions: Closure: If u and v are any vectors in V, then the sum u + v belongs to V. (1) Commutative law: For all vectors u and v in V, u + v = v + u Moreover, a vector space can have many different bases. 0 & 0 Example 311 We have seen, and will see more examples of –nite-dimensional vector spaces. ‘Real’ here refers to the fact that the scalars are real numbers. For example, one could consider the vector space of polynomials in $$x$$ with degree at most $$2$$ over the real numbers, which will be denoted by $$P_2$$ from now on. \)8) Distributivity of sums of matrices:$$The set of all vectors of dimension \( n$$ written as $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ associated with the addition and scalar multiplication as defined for 3-d and 2-d vectors for example. A hyperplane which does not contain the origin cannot be a vector space because it fails condition (+iv). Because we can not write a list infinitely long (without infinite time and ink), one can not define an element of this space explicitly; definitions that are implicit, as above, or algebraic as in $$f(n)=n^{3}$$ (for all $$n \in \mathbb{N}$$) suffice. A vector space consists of a set of V ( elements of V are called vectors), a field F ( elements of F are scalars) and the two operations 1. This is used in physics to describe forces or velocities. the solution space is a vector space ˇRn. Introduction to Vectors $$P:=\left \{ \begin{pmatrix}a\\b\end{pmatrix} \Big| \,a,b \geq 0 \right\}$$ is not a vector space because the set fails ($$\cdot$$i) since $$\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\end{pmatrix}\in P$$ but $$-2\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix}-2\\-2\end{pmatrix} \notin P$$. r(a+a') & r(b+b') \\ This example is called a $$\textit{subspace}$$ because it gives a vector space inside another vector space. Vector spaces as abstract algebraic entities were first defined by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano in 1888. Example 55: Solution set to a homogeneous linear equation, \[ M = \begin{pmatrix} 3.1. • Vector: parameters possessing magnitude and direction which add according to the parallelogram law. You are familiar with algebraic definitions like $$f(x)=e^{x^{2}-x+5}$$. Indeed, because it is determined by the linear map given by the matrix $$M$$, it is called $$\ker M$$, or in words, the $$\textit{kernel}$$ of $$M$$, for this see chapter 16. Example of Vector Spaces. A list of the major formulas used in vector computations are included. Deﬁnition 1.1.1. Example: (7, 8, -7, ½) = (14, 16, -14, 1) Difference of two n-tuples. \begin{bmatrix} 0 0 0 0 S, so S is not a subspace of 3. \end{bmatrix} A real vector space or linear space over R is a set V, together -1 & 10 \end{bmatrix} The set R of real numbers R is a vector space over R. 2. (It is a space of functions instead.) Examples: \begin{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \left[ 2\begin{pmatrix}-1\\1\\0\end{pmatrix} + 3 \begin{pmatrix}-1\\0\\1\end{pmatrix} \right] \begin{bmatrix} \end{bmatrix} Deﬂne the dimension of a vector space V over Fas dimFV = n if V is isomorphic to Fn. The other axioms should also be checked. a+a' & b+b' \\ a & b \\ \end{bmatrix} Then for example the function $$f(n)=n^{3}$$ would look like this: \[f=\begin{pmatrix}1\\ 8\\ 27\\ \vdots\\ n^{3}\\ \vdots\end{pmatrix}.$. This is a vector space; some examples of vectors in it are 4ex − 31e2x, πe2x − 4ex and 1 2e2x. \end{bmatrix} \\\\ = This is not a vector space because the green vectors in the space are not closed under multiplication by a scalar. Recall the concept of a subset, B, of a given set, A. = \end{bmatrix} + The column space and the null space of a matrix are both subspaces, so they are both spans. In turn, P 2 is a subspace of P. 4. \)6) Zero vector$$\begin{bmatrix} c & d c & d Theorem 1: Let V be a vector space, u a vector in V and c a scalar then: 1) 0u = 0 2) c0 = 0 3) (-1)u = -u 4) If cu = 0, then c = 0 or u = 0. r \left ( a'' & b'' \\ Thinking this way, \(\Re^\mathbb{N}$$ is the space of all infinite sequences. \\\\ = \). c & d a'+a & b'+b \\ 3.The set of polynomials in P 2 with no linear term forms a subspace of P 2. Let F be a field and n a natural number.Then Fn forms a vector space under tuple additionand scalar multplication where scalars are elements of F. Fn is probably the most common vector space studied,especially when F=R and n≤3.For example, R2 is often depicted by a 2-dimensional planeand R3by a 3-dimensional space. c+(-c) & d+(-d) \begin{bmatrix} 4\left[ 5\begin{pmatrix}-1\\1\\0\end{pmatrix} - 3 \begin{pmatrix}-1\\0\\1\end{pmatrix} \right] All elements in B are elements in A.

Example 6Show that the set of integers associated with addition and multiplication by a real number IS NOT a vector spaceSolution to Example 6The multiplication of an integer by a real number may not be an integer.Example: Let $$x = - 2$$If you multiply $$x$$ by the real number $$\sqrt 3$$ the result is NOT an integer. Some examples of in–nite-dimensional vector spaces include F (1 ;1), C (1 ;1), Cm (1 ;1). For example, the nowhere continuous function, $f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix}1,~~ x\in \mathbb{Q}\\ 0,~~ x\notin \mathbb{Q}\end{matrix}\right.$. Also, find a basis of your vector space. Vectors in can be represented using their three components, but that representation does not capture any information about . 2 The set of real-valued functions of a real variable, de ned on the domain [a x b]. 3&3&3 For example, consider a two-dimensional subspace of . 4.1 Vector Spaces & Subspaces Vector SpacesSubspacesDetermining Subspaces Determining Subspaces: Recap Recap 1 To show that H is a subspace of a vector space, use Theorem 1.

(c) Let S a 3a 2a 3 a . Let V be a non-empty set and R be the set of all real numbers. (2.1) is a constant function, or constant vector in c 2Rn. Example 3Show that the set of all real functions continuous on \( (-\infty,\infty)$$ associated with the addition of functions and the multiplication of matrices by a scalar form a vector space.Solution to Example 3From calculus, we know if $$\textbf{f}$$ and $$\textbf{g}$$ are real continuous functions on $$(-\infty,\infty)$$ and $$r$$ is a real number then$$(\textbf{f} + \textbf{g})(x) = \textbf{f}(x) + \textbf{g}(x)$$ is also continuous on $$(-\infty,\infty)$$and$$r \textbf{f}(x)$$ is also continuous on $$(-\infty,\infty)$$Hence the set of functions continuous on $$(-\infty,\infty)$$ is closed under addition and scalar multiplication (the first two conditions above).The remaining 8 rules are automatically satisfied since the functions are real functions. The zero vector in Fn is given by the n-tuple ofall 0's. Scalars are usually considered to be real numbers. Example 311 We have seen, and will see more examples of –nite-dimensional vector spaces. \begin{bmatrix} Examples $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ = real vector space $$\mathbb{C}^n$$ = complex vector space ...

Suppose u v S and . 1) $$\textbf{u} + \textbf{v} = \textbf{w}$$   ,   $$\textbf{w}$$ is an element of the set $$V$$ ; we say the set $$V$$ is closed under vector addition       2) Basis of a Vector Space Examples 1. Examples of Vector Spaces A wide variety of vector spaces are possible under the above deﬁnition as illus-trated by the following examples. A vector space or a linear space is a group of objects called vectors, added collectively and multiplied (“scaled”) by numbers, called scalars. One can find many interesting vector spaces, such as the following: $\mathbb{R}^\mathbb{N} = \{f \mid f \colon \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \Re \}$. The addition is just addition of functions: $$(f_{1} + f_{2})(n) = f_{1}(n) + f_{2}(n)$$. Remark 312 If V is just the vector space consisting of f0g, then we say that dim(V) = 0. \right) "* ( 2 ˇ ˝ 2 ˇˆ ˇ ˆ ˆ ˜ * ! c & d \end{bmatrix} \right) a & b \\ \end{bmatrix} + Instead we just write \" π \".) It is also possible to build new vector spaces from old ones using the product of sets. Remark. \\\\ = We can think of these functions as infinitely large ordered lists of numbers: $$f(1)=1^{3}=1$$ is the first component, $$f(2)=2^{3}=8$$ is the second, and so on. \begin{bmatrix} The idea of a vector space developed from the notion of ordinary two- and three-dimensional spaces as collections of vectors {u, v, w, …} with an associated field of real numbers {a, b, c, …}.Vector spaces as abstract algebraic entities were first defined by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano in 1888. The subset H ∪ K is thus not a subspace of 2. For example, the solution space for the above equation [clarification needed] is generated by e −x and xe −x. + \left [ 7\begin{pmatrix}-1\\1\\0\end{pmatrix} + 5 \begin{pmatrix}-1\\0\\1\end{pmatrix} \right] Let we have two composition, one is ‘+’ between two numbers of V and another is ‘.’ Watch the recordings here on Youtube! Example 4Show that the set of all real polynomials with a degree $$n \le 3$$ associated with the addition of polynomials and the multiplication of polynomials by a scalar form a vector space.Solution to Example 4The addition of two polynomials of degree less than or equal to 3 is a polynomial of degree lass than or equal to 3.The multiplication, of a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 3, by a real number results in a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 3Hence the set of polynomials of degree less than or equal to 3 is closed under addition and scalar multiplication (the first two conditions above).The remaining 8 rules are automatically satisfied since the polynomials are real. \\\\ = \begin{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} c & d (+i) (Additive Closure) $$(f_{1} + f_{2})(n)=f_{1}(n) +f_{2}(n)$$ is indeed a function $$\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \Re$$, since the sum of two real numbers is a real number. a' & b' \\ c'' & d'' a & b \\ Define and give examples of scalar and vector quantities. $$\Re^{ \{*, \star, \# \}} = \{ f : \{*, \star, \# \} \to \Re \}$$. However, most vectors in this vector space can not be defined algebraically. a & b \\ Consider the following set of vectors in R2: B = { = {(! s c & s d To check that $$\Re^{\Re}$$ is a vector space use the properties of addition of functions and scalar multiplication of functions as in the previous example. c' & d' r a & r b \\ Example 2. 0 & 0 \\ Notation. 11.2MH1 LINEAR ALGEBRA EXAMPLES 2: VECTOR SPACES AND SUBSPACES –SOLUTIONS 1. c' & d' \end{bmatrix} Let's get our feet wet by thinking in terms of vectors and spaces. Addition is de ned pointwise. The constant zero function $$g(n) = 0$$ works because then $$f(n) + g(n) = f(n) + 0 = f(n)$$. a & b \\ \end{bmatrix} r a & r b \\ Another important class of examples is vector spaces that live inside $$\Re^{n}$$ but are not themselves $$\Re^{n}$$. In such a vector space, all vectors can be written in the form $$ax^2 + bx + c$$ where $$a,b,c\in \mathbb{R}$$. It is obvious that if the set of real numbers in equation (1), the set of 2-d vectors used in equation (2), the set of the 2 by 2 matrices used in equation (3) and the set of polynomial used in equation (4) obey some common laws of addition and multiplication by real numbers, we may be (b) Let S a 1 0 3 a . \right) - c & - d Example 52: The space of functions of one real variable, $\mathbb{R}^\mathbb{R} = \{f \mid f \colon \Re \to \Re \}$, The addition is point-wise $$(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\, ,$$ as is scalar multiplication. 0 & 0 4.
