Tutorial Sheet 6: Vector Spaces
Exercise 5
Consider the vectors in ℝ³:
- u₁ = (1, 1, 0)
- u₂ = (0, 1, 1)
- u₃ = (1, 2, 1)
- Give a basis of the vector subspace F = vect(u₁, u₂, u₃).
- Show that F = { (x, y, z) ∈ ℝ³ ; x - y + z = 0 }.
- Find a basis of the vector subspace G = { (x, y, z) ∈ ℝ³ ; x + y + z = 0 }.
- Is F + G = ℝ³?
- Give a basis of F ∩ G.
- Complete the basis of G to form a basis of ℝ³.
