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.
(b) Let V1, V2, V3 be as defined in (a). Find a vector v € R[×]3 such that (V1, V2, V3, V4)
is a basis of R[x] 3.

(c) Prove that the map ƒ from R[x] 2 to R[x]3 given by f(p(x)) = xp(x) — xp(0) is a
linear map.

(d) Write down the matrix for the map ƒ defined in (c) with respect to the basis
(2,2x + 1, x²) of R[x] 2 and the basis (1, x, x², x³) of R[x] 3.

Question 4
(a) The following matrices represent linear maps on R² with respect to an
orthonormal basis:
=
[1/√5 2/√5
[2/√5 -1/√5]
"
[1/√5 2/√5]
A =
B =
[2/√5 1/√5] 1
C =
D =
=
=
[ 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
over R, write down a linear change of variables to u, v, w such that q in these
terms is in canonical form for Sylvester's Law of Inertia.
