What is the characteristic polynomial of A and its corresponding eigenvalues?

W = {(4a+3b, 0, a+b+c, c-2a) : a,b,c are real numbers}

Is W a subspace? Justify your reasoning.

• Yes, and I have concrete justification

• No, and I know exactly why

• Yes, but I don't know how to prove/explain why

• No, but I am not sure why I think now

Answer explanation

The conditions that must be satisfied are ____. For a quicker solution, _____ can be found instead.

Let U be a subspace of R⁵.

Is dim(U) ≤  5.

• Yes, it must be exactly 5

• No, dimensions have nothing to do with R^5

• Yes, because of the properties of what dimensions refer to and I can explain.

• No since dimensions of a subspace must be larger than the number of elements in its constituent vectors so it fits

Answer explanation

A Basis has only ______ vectors (property) and there can be only ______ (number) such vectors. It is a subspace so it does not necessarily need to _______ the entire ______.

Is the set {(3,-1,2), (1,-1,-2)} orthogonal? Is it orthonormal?

• It is not orthogonal and not orthonormal.

• It is orthogonal and orthonormal.

• It is not orthogonal, but is orthonormal.

• It is orthogonal, but not orthonormal.
