Find the value of \(k\) that satisfies the following equation: $$ \operatorname{det}\left(\begin{array}{ccc} 2 a_{1} & 2 a_{2} & 2 a_{3} \\ 3 b_{1}+5 c_{1} & 3 b_{2}+5 c_{2} & 3 b_{3}+5 c_{3} \\ 7 c_{1} & 7 c_{2} & 7 c_{3} \end{array}\right)=k \operatorname{det}\left(\begin{array}{lll} a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \\ b_{1} & b_{2} & b_{3} \\ c_{1} & c_{2} & c_{3} \end{array}\right) . $$
Let \(y_{1}, y_{2}, \ldots, y_{n}\) be linearly independent functions in \(C^{\infty}\). For each \(y \in \mathrm{C}^{\infty}\), define $\mathrm{T}(y) \in \mathrm{C}^{\infty}$ by $$ [\mathrm{T}(y)](t)=\operatorname{det}\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} y(t) & y_{1}(t) & y_{2}(t) & \cdots & y_{n}(t) \\ y^{\prime}(t) & y_{1}^{\prime}(t) & y_{2}^{\prime}(t) & \cdots & y_{n}^{\prime}(t) \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots \\ y^{(n)}(t) & y_{1}^{(n)}(t) & y_{2}^{(n)}(t) & \cdots & y_{n}^{(n)}(t) \end{array}\right) . $$ The preceding determinant is called the Wronskian of $y, y_{1}, \ldots, y_{n}$. (a) Prove that $\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{C}^{\infty} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}^{\infty}$ is a linear transformation. (b) Prove that \(\mathbf{N}(\mathbf{T})\) contains span $\left(\left\\{y_{1}, y_{2}, \ldots, y_{n}\right\\}\right)$.
Find the dimension and a basis of the subspace \(W\) of \(\mathbf{P}_{3}(t)\) spanned by \\[u=t^{3}+2 t^{2}-3 t+4, \quad v=2 t^{3}+5 t^{2}-4 t+7, \quad w=t^{3}+4 t^{2}+t+2\\]
Let \(V\) be the set of infinite sequences \(\left(a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots\right)\) in a field \(K .\) Show that \(V\) is a vector space over \(K\) with addition and scalar multiplication defined by \\[\left(a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots\right)+\left(b_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots\right)=\left(a_{1}+b_{1}, a_{2}+b_{2}, \ldots\right) \quad \text { and } \quad k\left(a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots\right)=\left(k a_{1}, k a_{2}, \ldots\right)\\]
