- 1. (20 pts) Determine whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F)? (A reasoning is required.) (1) Let V be the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers. Consider the following addition and scalar multiplication operations on u = u= (u1, u2) and v = (v1, v2): u + v = (U₁ + V₁, U₂ + v₂), ku = (ku₁, u₂). Is V a vector space under the above operations? U2 (2) The set Mmxn of all m×n matrices with the usual operations of addition and scalar multiplication is a vector space. α (3) The dimension of the vector space of all matrices A = [a b] in R2×2 with a+d=0 is 4. (4) The coordinate vector of p(x) = 2-x+x² in P3 relative to the basis S = {1, 1+x, x + x2} is [4 -2 1]. (5) If a 6×4 matrix A has a rank 3, then the dimension of N(A) is 3.arrow_forwardScenario Sales of products by color follow a peculiar, but predictable, pattern that determines how many units will sell in any given year.
