ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
According to the proposition:
For each, there is a unique vector such that.
Therefore, it is easy to see that a basis for consists of the vector
That is, any element of is of the form for .
Also, a basis for consists of the vector and we have
Thus, for any
If we set,
Then x is the unique element of with .
