2. Let A be an m n matrix.
(a) Suppose the columns of A are linearly independent. Prove that AT A is invertible.
Solution: Consider AT Ax = 0. Then xT AT Ax = xT 0 = 0, so kAxk2 = 0. Hence
Ax = 0. So a linear combination, Ax, of the columns of A is 0; and the columns of A
are linearly independent, we conclude that x = 0. Thus the null space of AT A is f0g, so
AT A is invertible.
(b) Suppose AT A is invertible. Prove that A has linearly independent columns.
Solution: Consider Ax = 0, which is a linear combination if the columns of A. Then

AT (Ax) = AT 0 = 0, so x = AT A 0 = 0. Therefore the columns of A must be
linearly independent.

(a) Find the matrix A which represents T with respect to the basis f1; t; t2 ; t3 g.
Solution: We evaluate [T (1)] (t) = 6, [T (t)] (t) = 12t 6t = 6t, [T (t2 )] (t) = 24t2 +
24t2 6t2 = 6t2 , and [T (t3 )] (t) = 42t3 72t3 + 36t3 6t3 = 0. So the matrix is

Suppose p and q are in W Then

Suppose p is in W , and c 2 R. Then

since all terms are odd and the interval is symmetric. Thus p 2 W , so V is a subset of
W . As both V and W are vector spaces, V is a subspace of W .
(c) Show that V 6= W .
Solution: For example, p (x) = 3x 5x3 is in W , but not in V .
(d) Find a basis for W .
Solution: For example, f3x 5x3 ; 5x3 7x5 ; 7x5 9x7 ; : : :g[f1; x2 ; x4 ; : : :g is a basis for
W.
5. Let X be the vector space of all sequences x, with x (n) 2 R for all natural numbers n, and
we de…ne vector addition and scalar multiplication by
Let W be the subset of X consisting of all sequences x such that there exists a natural number
m such that x (n) = 0 for all n m.
(a) Prove that W is a subspace of X.
Solution: Simply show the zero vector is in W , and that W is closed under addition and
scalar multiplication.
(b) Determine a basis for W .
Solution: A basis is fe1 ; e2 ; e3 ; : : :g where ei (n) = 1 if n = i, and ei (n) = 0 if n 6= i.
(c) Find a subspace V of X such that V is properly contained in X and W is properly
contained in V:
Solution: For example, let y (n) = 1 for all n. Let V = span fy; e1 ; e2 ; e3 ; : : :g :
