Answer all the questions.
(1) State whether the following statements are true or false with justifi
cation.
(a) Let W; and Ws be two subspaces of a vector space V. ‘Then
W, UW is a subspace of V.
(b) Let T : R? — RP defined by T(z, y) = (x,y. zy). Then Tis a
linear transformation
(c) Let V = GLa(R) ie the set of all n x n matrices over R. Then
V isa vector space with matrix addition operation
(4) If (V, <>) is an inner product space and < z,y >= 0 for all
eV, then y=0.
(¢) Let V be an inner product space and T : V —+ V be any map
such that ||'z|| = [|x| then Tis an orthogonal operator.

functional on R® such that 4(1,2,3) = 1 and (w) = 0 for all
wew. 3)
(4) Let P,(R) with inner product < f(),9(x) >= f*, S(t)a(t)dt.

find an orthonormal basis of V with respect to 8 and write f(r) =
1 +25 + 32? as a combination of orthonormal basis vectors.
