I. Perform as indicated.

1. Determine whether the set of all vectors of the form (a,b,c) such that 𝑏 = 𝑎 + 𝑐 + 1 is
a subspace of R3 . (10 pts.)
2. Determine whether the vector p is in the span {S}. Given S = { 𝑝1 , 𝑝2 , 𝑝3 } where
𝑝1 = 2 + 𝑥 + 4𝑥 2 , 𝑝2 = 1 − 𝑥 + 3𝑥 2 , 𝑝3 = 3 + 2𝑥 + 5𝑥 2 , 𝑝 = 7 + 8𝑥 + 9𝑥 2 . (10 pts.)
3. Using two methods, verify that the set S is linearly independent. (10 pts.)

4. Find the coordinate vector v relative to the basis vectors 𝑣1, , 𝑣2 , 𝑣3 . (10 pts.)

5. Explain why the set S is not a basis for R3 . (10 pts.)

6. Given Matrix A in Row Echelon Form (R),

find the (a) Basis for Row Space and its Dimension (5 pts.)
(b) Basis for the Solution Space and its Dimension. (15 pts.)
