Prove or disprove that in R3 ; span @ 4 A ; @ 2 A = span @ 2 A ; @ 4 A :

Solution:
We reduce the associated matrices of both sides into Echelon form to …nd
their ranks. 0 1

*in both cases, we get the same ranks, hence both columns for each sides

If possible, then …nd all the subspaces of R:

Solution:
8 2 R; f x : x 2 Rg form the sub-space of R:

DON’T MISS THESE Important instructions about assignment:

Only one question is graded which will be chosen randomly so you should
solve BOTH the questions. If there will be any question unsolved then the total
marks will be zero.
Upload assignments properly through LMS, otherwise 50% marks will be
deducted in case of late submission through email after the due date.

 This is an individual assignment, not group assignment, so keep in mind
that you are supposed to submit your own and self-made assignment even if
you discuss the questions with your class fellows. All similar assignments (even
with some meaningless modi…cations) will be awarded zero marks and no excuse
will be accepted. This is your responsibility to keep your assignment safe from
others.
Solve the assignment on MS word document with accessible mathtype cod-
ing.Other formats like png,jpg, pdf etc... will be marked as zero.
