Problem 3

Consider the complex vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^{2}$ and $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ with their canonical bases, and define $S \in \mathcal{L}\left(\mathbb{C}^{3}, \mathbb{C}^{2}\right)$ be the linear map defined by $S(v)=A v, \forall v \in \mathbb{C}^{3}$, where $A$ is the matrix
$$A=M(S)=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}i & 1 & 1 \\2 i & -1 & -1\end{array}\right)$$
Find a basis for $\operatorname{null}(S)$.

Problem 4

Give an example of a function $f: \mathbb{R}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ having
the property that
$$\forall a \in \mathbb{R}, \forall v \in \mathbb{R}^{2}, f(a v)=a f(v)$$
but such that $f$ is not a linear map.
