Given: the table for Upstream and Downstream Crossings.

It is required to record the upstream and downstream crossings in two 3×3

matrices and verify that the sum of these matrices gives the total number of crossings (both upstream and downstream) categorized by trout species and season.

Solve this by adding the corresponding elements of the two matrices.

The data of the upstream crossings can be represented in 3×3matrices, where the row will represent trout and columns, will represent seasons as:

U=
[8     3       3]
​[3       0      0]
[​1        0     0]

The data of the downstream crossings can be represented in 3×3 matrices, where the row will represent trout and columns, will represent seasons as:

D=

[9     3     1]
[1      0     1]
[​4       0    0]

The total number of crossings can be found by adding the upstream and downstream crossings matrices as:

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Vector Spaces 11

⇒ ​8+9=17

⇒ ​3+6=9

⇒ ​3+1=4

⇒ ​3+1=4

⇒ ​0+0=0

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Page 15 Problem 13 Answer

Given:

f(t)=2t+1 ,

g(t)=1+4t−2t2 ,

h(t)=5t+1

To prove: f=g and

f+g=h .

Solve this by using the fact that functions f and g are the same if and only if:

Domain of f and domain of g are similar. Codomain of f and codomain of g are similar.

f and g have the same value at each element of domain.

It is given that S={0,1},

F=R andf(t)=2t+1 ,

⇒ ​g(t)=1+4t−2t2 ,

⇒ ​h(t)=5t+1

For f=g :

As f,g∈F(S,R) , they have the same domain and codomain.

Checking if f(0)=g(0) and

⇒ ​f(1)=g(1) ,

⇒ ​f(0)=2⋅0+1

⇒ ​f(0)=1

⇒ ​g(0)=1+4⋅0−02

⇒ ​g(0)=1

⇒ ​f(1)=2⋅1+1

⇒ ​f(1)=3

⇒ ​g(1)=1+4⋅1−12

⇒ ​g(1)=3

So, f=g .

For f+g=h :

As f,g,h∈F(S,R) , then f+g∈F(S,R) and they have the same domain and codomain.

Checking if (f+g)(0)=h(0) and

⇒ ​(f+g)(1)=h(1) ,

⇒ ​(f+g)(0)=f(0)+g(0)

⇒ ​(f+g)(0)=1+1

⇒ ​(f+g)(0)=2

⇒ ​h(0)=50+1

⇒ ​h(0)=2

⇒ ​(f+g)(1)=f(1)+g(1)

⇒ ​(f+g)(1)=3+3

⇒ ​(f+g)(1)=6

⇒ ​h(1)=51+1

⇒ ​h(1)=6

So, f+g=h

Hence, it is proved that f=g andf+g=h .

Given: Vector space is V and x,y∈V and a,b∈F .

It is required to prove that (a+b)(x+y)=ax+ay+bx+by .

Solve this by the use of the definition and properties of vector space.

For (VS7) : ∀a∈F∀x,y∈V

⇒ ​a(x+y)=ax+ay

For (VS8) : ∀b∈F∀x∈V

(a+b)x=ax+bx

Consider V be a vector space over the field F and x,y∈V  and a,b∈F arbitrary.

As a and b are scalars, then so is a+b.(a+b∈F)(∗)

(a+b)(x+y)=(a+b)x+(a+b)y

(a+b)(x+y)=ax+bx+ay+by .

Therefore it has been proven that (a+b)(x+y)=ax+bx+ay+by .

The given theorems are Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2(c) in the question.

It is required to prove Corollaries 1 and 2 of Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2(c).

Solve this by the use the definition and properties of Vector space.

Assuming the opposite that there are two different vectors 01 and 02

such that

⇒ ​x+01=x

⇒ ​x+02=x∀x∈V

⇒x+01

=x+02

So,01=02

The vector 0 in (VS3) is Unique.

Assuming the opposite that there are two different vectors y1 and y2

such that

⇒ ​x+y1=0

⇒ ​x+y2=0∀x∈V

⇒x+y1

=x+y2

So,y1=y2

The vector y in (VS4) is Unique.

Hence, vector 0 in (VS3) is unique and vector y in (VS4) is unique.

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Page 15 Problem 16 Answer

It has been provided in the question that V denotes the set of all differentiable real-valued functions defined on the real line.

To prove that V is a vector space with the operations of addition and scalar multiplication defined.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of Vector space.

Real line is a field. Consider f,g,h∈V be real valued differentiable functions.

Sum of differentiable functions is differentiable and product of a real number with a differentiable function is a differentiable function i.e.,

⇒ ​(f+g)(s)=f(s)+g(s)∈V

⇒ ​(cf)(s)=cf(s)∈V

Commutativity and associativity are satisfied as they are real valued function i.e.,

⇒ ​f+g=g+f

⇒ ​(f+g)+h=f+(g+h) .

Here,f+0=f

⇒ ​f+(−f)=0

Here, 0 is the zero function. These properties will be satisfied by the real valued function.

⇒ ​1f=f

Here, 1 is the real number 1 . This is also satisfying.

Also,(xy)f=x(yf)

⇒ ​x(f+g)=xf+xg

⇒ ​(x+y)f=xf+yf

x,y are real numbers. The given properties are satisfied.

Therefore, the vector space V over field R satisfies all the required properties.

Understanding Vector Spaces With Friedberg Linear Algebra Chapter 1 Page 15 Problem 17 Answer

It has been given that V={0} consists of a single vector 0 and defines 0+0=0 and c0=0 for each scalar c in F .

It is required to prove that V is a vector space over F .

Solve this by the use of the definition and properties of Vector space.

Here it has been given that,

⇒ ​V={0}

⇒ ​0+0=0

⇒ ​c0=0∀c∈F

V has only one element so we need to check all of the conditions for that element.

⇒ ​(VS1):∀x,y∈V,x+y=y+x

⇒ ​0+0=0+0=0

⇒ ​(VS2):∀x,y,z∈V,(x+y)+z=x+(y+z)

⇒ ​(0+0)+0=0+0=0

⇒ ​0+(0+0)=0+0=0

(VS3):∀0v∈V such that 0v+x=x∀x∈V

⇒ ​0v+0=x

⇒ ​0v=0∈V

(VS4):∀x∈V,∃y∈V

such that x+y=0

⇒ ​0+y=0

⇒ ​y=0∈V .

Then,(VS5):∀x∈V,1x=x

⇒ ​0=1⋅0=0

(VS6):∀a,b∈F,∀x∈V,(ab)x=a(bx)

⇒ ​(ab)⋅0=0

⇒ ​a(b⋅0)=a⋅0=0

And,

(VS7):∀a∈F,∀x,y∈V,a(x+y)=ax+ay

⇒ ​a(0+0)=a⋅0=0

⇒ ​a⋅0+a⋅0=0+0=0

Similarly,

(VS8):∀a,b∈F,∀x∈V,(a+b)x=ax+bx

⇒ ​(a+b)⋅0=0

⇒ ​a⋅0+b⋅0=0+0=0 .

Hence, V is a vector space over F .

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Page 15 Problem 18 Answer

Given: (a1,a2) and (b1,b2) are elements of V and c∈R is defined as

(a1,a2)+(b1,b2)=(a1+b1,a2+b2) and  c(a1,a2)=(ca1,a2) .

To find: whether V is a vector space over R with the operations.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

Assume V=R2

+:(a1,a2)+(b1,b2)=(a1+b1,a2+b2)

:c(a1,a2)=(c⋅a1,a2)

For V to be a vector space, rules (VS1)−(VS8) must hold.

(VS8):

Assume α,β∈R and a=(a1,a2)∈V arbitrary.

(α+β)⋅a=αa+βb .

Now,(α+β)⋅a=(α+β)⋅(a1,a2)

⇒ ​(α+β)⋅a=((α+β)a1,a2)

⇒ ​(α+β)⋅a=(αa1+βa1,a2)

Also, αa+βa=α(a1,a2)+β(a1,a2)

⇒ ​αa+βa=(αa1,a2)+(βa1,a2)

⇒ ​αa+βa=(αa1+βa1,a22)

So,(α+β)⋅a≠αa+βb .

Hence, V is not a vector space.

Given:

V={(a1,a2,…,an):ai∈Rfori=1,2,…,n}

V is a vector space over R.

To find: Whether V is a vector space over the field of complex numbers with the operations of coordinate wise addition and multiplication.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

V is a vector space over the field of F if and only if for every x,y∈V and α,β∈F vector αx+βy is an element of V .

Assume V={(a1,a2,…,an):ai∈C∀i=1,2,…,n} ,

⇒ ​x=(x1,x2,…,xn),

⇒ ​y=(y1,y2,…,yn)∈V andα,β∈R .

Checking whether αx+βy is an element of V ,

⇒ ​αx+βy=α(x1,x2,…,xn)+β(y1,y2,…,yn)

⇒ ​αx+βy=(αx1,x2,…,xn)+(βy1,y2,…,yn)

⇒ ​αx+βy=(αx1+βy1,αx2+βy2,…,αxn+βyn)

As αxi+βyi∈C∀i , the vector αx+βy is an element of V .

V is a vector space over the field of R .

Therefore, V is a vector space over the field of complex numbers with the operations of coordinate wise addition and multiplication.

Given:  V={(a1,a2,…,an):ai∈Rfori=1,2,…,n}

V is a vector space over R.

To find: Whether V is a vector space over the field of complex numbers with the operations of coordinate wise addition and multiplication.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

Here, V is a vector space over the field of F if and only if for every x,y∈V and α,β∈F

vector αx+βy is an element of V .

Assume V={(a1,a2,…,an):ai∈R∀i=1,2,…,n} ,

⇒ ​x=(1,1,…,1),

⇒ ​y=(2,2,…,2)∈V andα=i,

⇒ ​β=2i∈C .

Checking whether αx+βy is an element of V,

⇒ ​αx+βy=i(1,1,…,1)+2i(2,2,…,2)

⇒ ​αx+βy=(i,i,…,i)+(4i,4i,…,4i)

⇒ ​αx+βy=(5i,5i,…,5i) .

As 5i∉R , vector αx+βy is not an element of V .

V is not a vector space over the field of C .

Therefore, V is not a vector space over the field of complex numbers with the operations of coordinate wise addition and multiplication.

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Page 16 Problem 21 Answer

Given that V denotes the set of all m×n matrices with real entries and F is the field of rational numbers.

To find: Whether V is a vector space over the field of rational numbers with the usual definitions of matrix addition and multiplication.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

Here,V is a vector space over the field of F if and only if for every x,y∈V and α,β∈F vector αx+βy is an element of V.

Assume V={A=(aij)∈Mm×n:aij∈R} ,x=(xij),

y=(yij)∈V andα,β∈Q .

Checking whether αX+βY is an element of V,

⇒ ​αx+βy=α(xij)+β(yij)

⇒ ​αx+βy=(αxij)+(βyij)

⇒ ​αx+βy=(αxij+βyij)

As αxij+βyij∈R∀i , the vector αX+βY is an element of V.

V is not a vector space over the field of Q .

Therefore, V is a vector space over the field of Q with the usual definitions of matrix addition and multiplication.

Given: V={(a1,a2):a1,a2∈F} and c∈F , (a1,a2)∈V and is defined as c(a1,a2)=(a1,0) .

To find: whether V is a vector space over F with the operations.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

ConsiderV=F2

+:(a1,a2)+(b1,b2)=(a1+b1,a2+b2)

:c(a1,a2)=(a1,0)

For V to be a vector space, rules (VS1)−(VS8) must hold.

(VS5):

Assume a=(a1,a2)∈V ,

1⋅a=a .

Now,1⋅a=1⋅(a1,a2)

1⋅a=(a1,0)

So,1⋅a≠a.

Therefore, V is not a vector space.

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Page 16 Problem 23 Answer

Given: V={(a1,a2):a1,a2∈R} and (a1,a2),(b1,b2)∈V , c∈R is defined as

(a1,a2)+(b1,b2)=(a1+2b1,a2+3b2) and

c(a1,a2)=(ca1,ca2) .

To find:  whether V is a vector space over R with the operations.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

Consider V=R2

+:(a1,a2)+(b1,b2)=(a1+2b1,a2+3b2)

:c(a1,a2)=(ca1,ca2)

For V to be a vector space, rules (VS1)−(VS8) must hold.

(VS2):

Assume a=(a1,a2) ,

b=(b1,b2) ,

c=(c1,c2)∈V ,

(a+b)+c=a+(b+c) .

Now,

⇒ ​(a+b)+c=((a1,a2)+(b1,b2))+(c1,c2)

⇒ ​(a+b)+c=(a1+2b1,a2+3b2)+(c1,c2)

⇒ ​(a+b)+c=(a1+2b1+2c1,a2+3b2+3c2)

Also,

⇒ ​a+(b+c)=(a1,a2)+((b1,b2)+(c1,c2))

⇒ ​a+(b+c)=(a1,a2)+(b1+2c1,b2+3c2)

⇒ ​a+(b+c)=(a1+2b1+4c1,a2+3b2+9c2)

So,

(a+b)+c≠a+(b+c) .

Therefore, V is not a vector space.

c(a1,a2)={(0,0)ifc=0(ca1,a​2c)ifc≠0 .

To find: whether V is a vector space over R with the operations.

Solve this by using the definition and properties of vector space.

Consider V=R2+:(a1,a2)+(b1,b2)=(a1+2b1,a2+3b2)

:c(a1,a2)={(0,0)ifc=0(ca1,a2c)ifc≠0

For V to be a vector space, rules (VS1)−(VS8) must hold.

(VS8):

Assume α,β∈R and a=(a1,a2)∈V arbitrary.

(α+β)⋅a=αa+βb

1⋅a≠0,β≠0 .

Now,(α+β)⋅a=(α+β)⋅(a1,a2)

(α+β)⋅a=((α+β)a1,a2

α+β)(α+β)⋅a=(αa1+βa1,a2α+β)

Also,

⇒ ​αa+βb=α(a1,a2)+β(a1,a2)

⇒ ​αa+βb=(αa1,a2α)+(βa1,a2β)

⇒ ​αa+βb=(αa1+βa1,(α+β)a2αβ)

So,

(α+β)⋅a≠αa+βb .

Therefore, V is not a vector space.

Linear Algebra 5th Edition Chapter 1 Page 16 Problem 25 Answer

Given: V denote the set of all real-valued functions f defined on the real line such that f(1)=0.

We need to prove that V is a vector space with the operations of addition and scalar multiplication.

We will use the 8 conditions given in the example 3.

Let f,g∈V and let c∈R be a scalar, therefore, f(1)=g(1)=0. By applying the properties of real values functions , we obtain:

(f+g)(1)=f(1)+g(1)=0∈V

(cf)(1)=c.1=0∈V​

Now, let’s show that other conditions are also satisfied. Let f,g,h∈V and let a,b∈R be scalars, therefore,

f(1)=g(1)=h(1)=0. Now, we have:

1.for all t∈R, we have:

⇒ ​(f+g)(t)=f(t)+g(t)

⇒ ​g(t)+f(t)=(g+f)(t)

⇒ ​(g+f)(t)=g+f

​2.for all t∈R, we have:

⇒ ​[f+(g+h)](t)=f(t)+(g+h)(t)

⇒ ​f(t)+(g+h)(t)=f(t)+g(t)+h(t)

⇒ ​f(t)+g(t)+h(t)=[(f+g)​+h](t)]

⇒ ​[(f+g)+h](t)]=(f+g)+h

​3.Define 0 be the constant function such that 0(t)=0 for all t∈R, then for all t∈R, we have:

⇒ ​(0+f)(t)=(f+0)(t)

⇒ ​(f+0)(t)=f(t)+0(t)

⇒ ​f(t)+0(t)=f(t)

f(t)=f

​4.Define −f be the function for all t∈R, then for all t∈R we have:

⇒ ​(f+(−f))(t)=(−f+f(t))

⇒ ​(−f+f(t))=f(t)+(−f(t))

⇒ ​f(t)+(−f(t))=f(t)−f(t)

⇒ ​f(t)−f(t)=0

⇒f+(−f)=0

5.For all t∈R, we have:

⇒ ​(1f)(t)=1⋅f(t)

1⋅f(t)=f(t)⇒1f=f

6.For all t∈R , we have:

⇒ ​[(ab)f]t=(ab)[f(t)]

⇒ ​(ab)[f(t)]=a[bf(t)]a[(bf)(t)]

⇒(ab)f=a(b)f

​7.For all t∈R, we have:

⇒ ​[a(f+g](t)=a[(f+g)](t)

⇒ ​a[(f+g)](t)=a[f(t)+g(t)]

⇒ ​(af)(t)+(ag)(t)=(af+ag)(t)​

⇒a(f+g)=af+ag

8.For all t∈R, we have:

⇒ ​[(a+b)f]t=(a+b)[f(t)]

⇒ ​(a+b)[f(t)]=a[f(t)]+b[f(t)]​

⇒(a+b)f=af+bf

​From the above discussion, it is proved that V is a vector space with the operations of addition and scalar multiplication.

The field Z2 includes two elements, that is 0 and 1 which means that for each entry of matrix in Mm×n

(F) we have two choices and matrix on its own has mn entries.

Therefore, Mm×n(F) contains 2mn elements.

We obtained that, Mm×n(F) contains  2mn elements.
