Dimensionality in Linear Algebra

1) The document finds bases for subspaces U, W, and U∩W of a vector space V. 2) It is shown that if dim V = 2 and dim W = 2, then {1,2} is a basis for U and {1,3} is a basis for U∩W. 3) Similarly, if the dimensions are known, the bases can be determined without further working.

W x Y Z 2x y 52 0
e.g 1,7 1

Find bases for M W and UAW


Alongside this what if we knew that dim V2 dim W 2
dim Uaw l

A typical element If U has the form

ay 32 Y Z for some y zER


yegg ZEED
so U E span hi Az But 14,42 Ell So
span 4,12 EU Hence U span 1,11
I U
so I generate

that dim 0 2 then


If we knee
we're done
are C I Suppose
To check whether I
mat XY 7242 1 for Xi LER
hen X 211,0 X2 3,0 1 0 0,0

271 372121,72 10 0,0


It fonows immediately that 7 72 0

are L I
501 Iz

thence I form abasis of U


had known that dim 0 2
fit we

we might have tried to Spot


Still need to prove
2 LI elements

that they are


we can find a basis of W
Similarly

What about unw


x z lies in Unw
An element 2 y

iff
x y t Satisfy x 29 37 0
2x y 52 0

we can represent this as

hence x

By so a
typical
element of UnW has the form

7 1,3 for some YER
Y C 7
so UnW Span 1,3
nonzero rector is Lot
since a single
list 711,3 is a basis of Uaw

fit we met that din Uaw I

then and nonzero element of

would be a basis
