Show the Subset of the Vector Space of Polynomials is a Subspace and Find its Basis

Problem 153

Let $P_3$ be the vector space over $\R$ of all degree three or less polynomial with real number coefficient.
Let $W$ be the following subset of $P_3$.
\[W=\{p(x) \in P_3 \mid p'(-1)=0 \text{ and } p^{\prime\prime}(1)=0\}.\] Here $p'(x)$ is the first derivative of $p(x)$ and $p^{\prime\prime}(x)$ is the second derivative of $p(x)$.

Show that $W$ is a subspace of $P_3$ and find a basis for $W$.

Any Vector is a Linear Combination of Basis Vectors Uniquely

Problem 151

Let $B=\{\mathbf{v}_1, \mathbf{v}_2, \mathbf{v}_3\}$ be a basis for a vector space $V$ over a scalar field $K$. Then show that any vector $\mathbf{v}\in V$ can be written uniquely as
\[\mathbf{v}=c_1\mathbf{v}_1+c_2\mathbf{v}_2+c_3\mathbf{v}_3,\] where $c_1, c_2, c_3$ are scalars.

Non-Example of a Subspace in 3-dimensional Vector Space $\R^3$

Problem 125

Let $S$ be the following subset of the 3-dimensional vector space $\R^3$.
\[S=\left\{ \mathbf{x}\in \R^3 \quad \middle| \quad \mathbf{x}=\begin{bmatrix}
x_1 \\
x_2 \\
x_3
\end{bmatrix}, x_1, x_2, x_3 \in \Z \right\}, \] where $\Z$ is the set of all integers.
Determine whether $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$.

If Vectors are Linearly Dependent, then What Happens When We Add One More Vectors?

Problem 120

Suppose that $\mathbf{v}_1, \mathbf{v}_2, \dots, \mathbf{v}_r$ are linearly dependent $n$-dimensional real vectors.

For any vector $\mathbf{v}_{r+1} \in \R^n$, determine whether the vectors $\mathbf{v}_1, \mathbf{v}_2, \dots, \mathbf{v}_r, \mathbf{v}_{r+1}$ are linearly independent or linearly dependent.
