2. Use Theorem 5.2.1 to determine which of the following are subspaces of M22.

Thm 5.2.1: If W is a set of one or more vectors from a vector space V, then W is a subspace of V if and only if the following conditions hold.
(a) If u and v are vectors in W, then u + v is in W.
(b) If k is any scalar and u is any vector in W, then ku is in W.

a) all 2 x 2 matrices with integer entries
b) all matrices a b where a + b + c + d = 0
c d

c) all 2 x 2 matrices A such that det(A) = 0
d) all matrices of the form a b
0 c

e) all matrices of the form a a
-a -a

18. Prove Theorem 5.2.4.

Thm 5.2.4: If S = {v1, v2, ..., vr}and S' = {w1, w2, ..., wk} are two sets of vectors in a vector space V, then

span{v1, v2, ..., vr}= span{w1, w2, ..., wk}

if and only if each vector in S is a linear combination of those in S' and each vector in S' is a linear combination of those in S.

22. Show that the set of continuous functions f = f(x) on [a, b] such that

The intergral from a to b f(x)dx = 0

is a subspace of C[a, b].

  • "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."
