Dimension of the Sum of Two Subspaces
Problem 440
Let $U$ and $V$ be finite dimensional subspaces in a vector space over a scalar field $K$.
Then prove that
\[\dim(U+V) \leq \dim(U)+\dim(V).\]
Let $U$ and $V$ be finite dimensional subspaces in a vector space over a scalar field $K$.
Then prove that
\[\dim(U+V) \leq \dim(U)+\dim(V).\]
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a field $k$ and let $V^*=\Hom(V, k)$ be the dual vector space of $V$.
Let $\{v_i\}_{i=1}^n$ be a basis of $V$ and let $\{v^i\}_{i=1}^n$ be the dual basis of $V^*$. Then prove that
\[x=\sum_{i=1}^nv^i(x)v_i\]
for any vector $x\in V$.
