3. Suppose S = {V1, V2, V3} is a linearly dependent subset of a vector space V. Using only the definition of linear dependence and the span of a set, prove that you can remove one vector from S and still have a set with the same span of the original set.
6. (a) Suppose that Wi and W2 are both four-dimensional subspaces of a vector space V of dimension seven. Explain why W1 n W3 {0 (b) Suppose V is a vector space of dimension 55, and let Wi and W2 be subspaces of V of dimension 36 and 28 respectively. What is the least possible value and the greatest possible value of dim(Wi + W2)?
explain what a basis for a vector space is. How does a basis differ from a span of a vector space? What are some characteristics of a basis? Does a vector space have more than one basis? Be sure to do this: A basis B is a subset of the vector space V. The vectors in B are linearly independent and span V.(Most of you got this.) A spanning set S is a subset of V such that all vectors...
Problem 2. Let V be a five dimensional real vector space equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form (,). Suppose there exists a two dimensional subspace U of V such that (u, v) = 0 for all v EU. What are the possible signatures for (,)? Be sure to explain why each possible signature can or cannot occur.

15. Advanced problem: Let's say that a vector space X“splits” the spaces U and G if either Uç X & W or W ÇX V. a. Is there a vector space C that splits A = R^3 and B = {the x-axis in R^3} ? If there is, find it (no need to prove your claim) and if not, explain why it cannot exist. b. Suppose that U & W are a finite-dimensional. On what condition does there exist a...
