Question 1
For each non-negative integer m, let R[x]m denote the
vector space consisting of the polynomials in x with coefficients in R and of degree ≤ m.
x²+2, V3 = 5. Prove that (V1, V2, V3) is a linearly independent
(a) Let vi = x, V2 =
list in R[x] 3.

Question 4
(a) The following matrices represent linear maps on R² with respect to an
orthonormal basis:

[2/√5 -1/√5]
"
[1/√5 2/√5]
A =
B =
[2/√5 1/√5] 1
C =

=
[ 1/3/5 2/35]
1/√5 2/√5
-2/√5 1/√5'
For each of the matrices A, B, C, D, state whether it represents a self-adjoint
linear map, an orthogonal linear map, both, or neither.
(b) For the quadratic form
q(x, y, z) = y² + 2xy +2yz

terms is in canonical form for Sylvester's Law of Inertia.
