Question
Let U and V be the subspaces of R3 defined byU = {x: aT x = 0} and V = {x: bT x = 0}Where Demonstrate that the union, U ? V, is not a subspace of R3(see Let abe a fixed vector in R3, and define W to be the subset of R3 given by w = [x: aTx = 0] Prove that W is a subspace ofR3)
Solution
The first step in solving 3.2 problem number 32 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let U and V be the subspaces of R3 defined byU = {x: aT x = 0} and V = {x: bT x = 0}Where Demonstrate that the union, U ? V, is not a subspace of R3(see Let abe a fixed vector in R3, and define W to be the subset of R3 given by w = [x: aTx = 0] Prove that W is a subspace ofR3)
From the textbook chapter Vector Space Properties of Rn you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
