1. (4 pts) Let V be a non-empty vector space. Let W be a non-empty subset of V. What single condition do use to determine whether W is a subspace of V? 2. Let V = P_2(R) the vector space of polynomials of degree less than or equal to 2. (An element of V is of the form p(x) = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2.) (a) (3 pts) Let Z = {p(x) ? V : p(2) = 0}. Is Z a subspace of V? (Show your work.) (b) (3 pts) Let U = {p(x) ? V : p(2) = 3}. Is U a subspace of V? (Show your work.)

Step 1
W is a subspace of V if it is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication. In other words, for any vectors u, v in W and any scalar c, the following conditions must hold: Show more…

The vector v has initial position P and terminal point Q. Write v in the form ai + bj; that is, find its position vector. P = (-1, -2); Q = (-5, 3) v = 4i - 3j v = -4i + 5j v = -3i + 4j v = 5i - 4j
