Use the definition of a vector space V to prove the following: a. \(0 \mathbf{u}=\mathbf{0}\) for every \(\mathbf{u} \in V\). b. \(-\mathbf{u}=(-1) \mathbf{u}\) for every \(\mathbf{u} \in V\). (Hint: The distributive property 7 is all important.)

Question
Let \(g_{1}(t)=1\) and \(g_{2}(t)=t\). Using the inner product defined in Example 10(c), find the orthogonal complement of Span \(\left(g_1,\ g_2\right)\) in
a. \(\mathcal{P}_{2} \subset \mathcal{C}^{0}([-1,\ 1])\)
b. \(\mathcal{P}_{2} \subset \mathcal{C}^{0}([0,\ 1])\)
c. \(\mathcal{P}_{3} \subset \mathcal{C}^{0}([-1,\ 1])\)
d. \(\mathcal{P}_{3} \subset \mathcal{C}^{0}([0,\ 1])\)
Solution
Step 1 of 5
The inner product is defined by:
Let \({C^0}\left[ {a,b} \right]\) denotes the vector space of continuous function on the interval [a,b].
If \(< f,g > \in {C^0}\left[ {a,b} \right]\) defined \(< f,g > = \int\limits_a^b {f\left( t \right)g\left( t \right)dt}\).
Now, \(g\left( t \right) = 1,{P_1} \subset {C^0}\left[ {1,1} \right]\).
