The polynomials of degree less than 5 form a 5-dimensional subspace of the vector space of all polynomials. If W is a subspace of V, and if W is finite dimensional, then V must be finite dimensional as well.
If f1,...,fn are polynomials such that deg fi = i for i = 1,...,n, then f1,...,fn must be linearly independent.
Let P be the space of polynomials with real coefficients and T : P → ℝ the linear map given by
T(f(t)) = ∠ f(t)dt
The kernel of T is finite dimensional.
The function T : P5 → P5 given by
T(f(t)) = d/dt ∠ f(x)dx
is an isomorphism.
Any 4-dimensional vector space has infinitely many 3-dimensional subspaces.
The identity matrix In is similar to all invertible n x n matrices.
Matrix In is similar to the matrix 2In.
All invertible matrices are diagonalizable.
If two matrices have the same characteristic polynomials, then they must be similar.
