Sem-3 (Vector Space)

The document summarizes key concepts in vector spaces including: 1) The zero vector for vector spaces of 2x4 matrices and degree 3 polynomials is the zero element. 2) Checking if a set of elements forms a vector space by verifying it satisfies closure and other properties. 3) Identifying subsets that are and aren't vector spaces based on whether operations remain within the set.

SEMINAR LESSON-3

Vector Space.
1. Name the zero vector for each of these vector spaces.
(a) The space of 2×4 matrices.
(b) The space of degree tree polynomials under the usual operations.
2. List three elements and then show it is a vector space.
!
"

$

3. Show that each of these is not a vector space. (Hint. Check closure by listing two members
of each set and trying some operations on them.)

5. Which of these subsets of the vector space of 2×2 matrices are subspaces under the
inherited operations? For each one that is a subspace, parametrize its description. For each
