linear combination (2.3) - answersA linear combination of a list v1,....,vm of vectors in V
is a vector of the form:
a1v1+....+amvm
where a1,...,am are in F.
Span - answersThe set of all linear combinations of a list of vectors v1,....,vm in V is
called the
span of v1,....,vm,
denoted span(v1,.....,vm).
In other words,
span(v1,....,vm) = {a1v1+...+amvm : a1,....,am}
The span of a list of vectors in V is the smallest.... - answersSpan is the smallest
containing subspace.
The span of a list of vectors in V is the smallest subspace of V containing all the vectors
in the list.
spans - answersIf span(v1,....,vm) equals V, we say that v1,...,vm spans V.
finite-dimensional vector space - answersA vector space is called finite-dimensional if
some list of vectors in it spans the space.
Polynomial P(F) - answersA function p:F->F is called a polynomial with coefficients in F
if there exist a0,...,am in F such that
p(z)= a0+a1z+a2z^2+.....+ amz^m
for all z in F.
P(F) is the set of all polynomials with coefficients in F.
degree of a polynomial, deg p - answersA polynomial p in P(F) is said to have degree m
if there exist
scalars a0,a1,...,am in F with am not equal 0 such that
p(z)= a0+a1z+...+amz^m
for all z in F.
-If p has degree m, we write
degp =m.
Pm(F) - answersFor m a nonnegative integer, Pm(F) denotes the set of all polynomials
with coefficients in F and degree at most m.
, infinite-dimensional vector space - answersA vector space is called infinite-dimensional
if it is not finite-dimensional
linearly independent - answersA list v1,....,vm of vectors in V is called linearly
independent if the only choice of a1,...,am in F that makes
a1v1+...+amvm= 0 is a1=....=am=0
The empty list {0} is also declared to be linearly independent.
linearly dependent - answersA list of vectors in V is called linearly dependent if it is not
linearly independent.
In other words, a list v1,...,vm of vectors in V is linearly dependent if there exist a1,...,am
in F, not all 0, such that a1v1+...+amvm=0.
Suppose v1,...,vm is a linearly dependent list in V. Then there exists j in {1,2,...m} such
that the following hold: - answers(a) vj is in span(v1,...,vj-1)
(b) if the jth term is removed from v1,...,vm, the span of the remaining list equals
span(v1,...,vm)
Length of linearly independent list is______________ the length of spanning list
less than
greater than
equal too
less than and equal too - answersLength of linearly independent list less than and equal
toothe length of spanning list
In a finite-dimensional vector space, the length of every linearly independent list of
vectors is less than or equal to the length of every spanning list of vectors.
Every subspace of a finite-dimensional vector space is - answersEvery subspace of a
finite-dimensional vector space is finite-dimensional
basis - answersA basis of V is a list of vectors in V that is linearly independent and
spans V.
Criterion for basis - answersA list v1,...,vn of vectors in V is a basis of V if and only if
every v in V can be written uniquely in the form:
v = a1v1+...+anvn
where a1,...,an is in F.
Every spanning list in a vector space can be reduced... - answersSpanning list contains
a basis
Every spanning list in a vector space can be reduced to a basis of the vector space.
