Prove Theorem 11.3. Let \(\left\\{v_{i}\right\\}\) and \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\) be bases of \(V\) and let \(\left\\{\phi_{i}\right\\}\) and \(\left\\{\sigma_{i}\right\\}\) be the respective dual bases in \(V^{*}\). Let \(P\) be the change-of-basis matrix from \(\left\\{v_{i}\right\\}\) to \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\). Then \(\left(P^{-1}\right)^{T}\) is the change-of- basis matrix from \(\left\\{\phi_{i}\right\\}\) to \(\left\\{\sigma_{i}\right\\}\). Suppose, for \(i=1, \ldots, n\), $$ w_{i}=a_{i 1} v_{1}+a_{i 2} v_{2}+\cdots+a_{i n} v_{n} \quad \text { and } \quad \sigma_{i}=b_{i 1} \phi_{1}+b_{i 2} \phi_{2}+\cdots+a_{i n} v_{n} $$ Then \(P=\left[a_{i j}\right]\) and \(Q=\left[b_{i j}\right]\). We seek to prove that \(Q=\left(P^{-1}\right)^{T}\). Let \(R_{i}\) denote the ith row of \(Q\) and let \(C_{j}\) denote the \(j\) th column of \(P^{T}\). Then $$ R_{i}=\left(b_{i 1}, b_{i 2}, \ldots, b_{i n}\right) \quad \text { and } \quad C_{j}=\left(a_{j 1}, a_{j 2}, \ldots, a_{j h}\right)^{T} $$By definition of the dual basis, $$ \begin{aligned} \sigma_{i}\left(w_{j}\right) &=\left(b_{i 1} \phi_{1}+b_{i 2} \phi_{2}+\cdots+b_{i n} \phi_{n}\right)\left(a_{j 1} v_{1}+a_{j 2} v_{2}+\cdots+a_{j n} v_{n}\right) \\ &=b_{i 1} a_{j 1}+b_{i 2} a_{j 2}+\cdots+b_{i n} a_{j n}=R_{i} C_{j}=\delta_{i j} \end{aligned} $$ where \(\delta_{i j}\) is the Kronecker delta. Thus, $$ Q P^{T}=\left[R_{i} C_{j}\right]=\left[\delta_{i j}\right]=I $$ Therefore, \(Q=\left(P^{T}\right)^{-1}=\left(P^{-1}\right)^{T}\), as claimed.
Let \(V\) be a vector space over \(\mathbf{R}\). The line segment \(\overline{u v}\) joining points \(u, v \in V\) is defined by \(\overline{u v}=\\{t u+(1-t) v: 0 \leq t \leq 1\\} .\) A subset \(S\) of \(V\) is convex if \(u, v \in S\) implies \(\overline{u v} \subseteq S .\) Let \(\phi \in V^{*} .\) Define \\[ W^{+}=\\{v \in V: \phi(v)>0\\}, \quad W=\\{v \in V: \phi(v)=0\\}, \quad W^{-}=\\{v \in V: \phi(v)<0\\} \\] Prove that \(W^{+}, W,\) and \(W^{-}\) are convex.
Prove Theorem 11.4: Suppose dim \(V=n\). Then the natural mapping \(v \mapsto \hat{v}\) is an isomorphism of \(V\) onto \(V^{* *}\).
Suppose \(u, v \in V\) and that \(\phi(u)=0\) implies \(\phi(v)=0\) for all \(\phi \in V^{*} .\) Show that \(v=k u\) for some scalar \(k\).
Let \(V\) be the vector space of polynomials over \(\mathbf{R}\) of degree \(\leq 2 .\) Let \(\phi_{1}, \phi_{2}, \phi_{3}\) be the linear functionals on \(V\) defined by \\[\phi_{1}(f(t))=\int_{0}^{1} f(t) d t, \quad \phi_{2}(f(t))=f^{\prime}(1), \quad \phi_{3}(f(t))=f(0)\\] Here \(f(t)=a+b t+c t^{2} \in V\) and \(f^{\prime}(t)\) denotes the derivative of \(f(t) .\) Find the basis \(\left\\{f_{1}(t), f_{2}(t), f_{3}(t)\right\\}\) of \(V\) that is dual to \(\left\\{\phi_{1}, \phi_{2}, \phi_{3}\right\\}\)
