Let S be a maximal linearly independent subset of a vector space V. In other words, S has the property that if a vector not in S is adjoined to S, the new set will no longer be linearly independent. Prove that S must be a basis of V. [Hint: What if S were linearly independent but not a basis of V?]

Short Answer

Expert verified

S must be a basis of V.

Step by step solution

01

Find a vector v in set V

Let \(S = \left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},\,{{\bf{v}}_2},.....,{{\bf{v}}_p}} \right\}\).

Assume that S does not span V.

Therefore, \(V \ne {\rm{Span}}\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2},....,{{\bf{v}}_p}} \right\}\).

Then, there must be a vector v in set V that is not in the \({\rm{Span}}\left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2},....{{\bf{v}}_p}} \right\}\).

02

Check for linear independency

Let \(S'\) be a set formed by

\(\begin{aligned} S' &= S \cup \left\{ {\bf{v}} \right\}\\ &= \left\{ {{{\bf{v}}_1},{{\bf{v}}_2},.....,{{\bf{v}}_p},{\bf{v}}} \right\}\end{aligned}\).

The set \(S'\) is also a linearly independent set, but the number of elements in the set \(S'\) is more than \(S\)(contradiction).

So, S must be a basis of V.

In Exercise 7, find the coordinate vector \({\left( x \right)_{\rm B}}\) of x relative to the given basis \({\rm B} = \left\{ {{b_{\bf{1}}},...,{b_n}} \right\}\).

7. \({b_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}\end{array}} \right),{b_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{9}}\end{array}} \right),{b_{\bf{3}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right),x = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{8}}\\{ - {\bf{9}}}\\{\bf{6}}\end{array}} \right)\)

(calculus required) Define \(T:C\left( {0,1} \right) \to C\left( {0,1} \right)\) as follows: For f in \(C\left( {0,1} \right)\), let \(T\left( t \right)\) be the antiderivative \({\mathop{\rm F}\nolimits} \) of \({\mathop{\rm f}\nolimits} \) such that \({\mathop{\rm F}\nolimits} \left( 0 \right) = 0\). Show that \(T\) is a linear transformation, and describe the kernel of \(T\). (See the notation in Exercise 20 of Section 4.1.)

Use coordinate vector to test whether the following sets of poynomial span \({{\bf{P}}_{\bf{2}}}\). Justify your conclusions.

a. \({\bf{1}} - {\bf{3}}t + {\bf{5}}{t^{\bf{2}}}\), \( - {\bf{3}} + {\bf{5}}t - {\bf{7}}{t^{\bf{2}}}\), \( - {\bf{4}} + {\bf{5}}t - {\bf{6}}{t^{\bf{2}}}\), \({\bf{1}} - {t^{\bf{2}}}\)

b. \({\bf{5}}t + {t^{\bf{2}}}\), \({\bf{1}} - {\bf{8}}t - {\bf{2}}{t^{\bf{2}}}\), \( - {\bf{3}} + {\bf{4}}t + {\bf{2}}{t^{\bf{2}}}\), \({\bf{2}} - {\bf{3}}t\)

(M) Let \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _5}\) denote the columns of the matrix \(A\), where \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}5&1&2&2&0\\3&3&2&{ - 1}&{ - 12}\\8&4&4&{ - 5}&{12}\\2&1&1&0&{ - 2}\end{array}} \right),B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1}}&{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _2}}&{{{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _4}}\end{array}} \right)\)

  1. Explain why \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _3}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _5}\) are in the column space of \(B\).
  2. Find a set of vectors that spans \({\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} A\).
  3. Let \(T:{\mathbb{R}^5} \to {\mathbb{R}^4}\) be defined by \(T\left( x \right) = A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \). Explain why \(T\) is neither one-to-one nor onto.

Explain what is wrong with the following discussion: Let \({\bf{f}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{3}} + t\) and \({\bf{g}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{3}}t + {t^{\bf{2}}}\), and note that \({\bf{g}}\left( t \right) = t{\bf{f}}\left( t \right)\). Then, \(\left\{ {{\bf{f}},{\bf{g}}} \right\}\) is linearly dependent because g is a multiple of f.
