. Prove that if a F, v V ,and av = 0 ,then a = 0 or v = 0. 3. For each of the following subsets of F 3 , determine whether it is a subspace of F 3 : (a) {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) F 3 : x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = 0} (b) {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) F 3 : x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = 4} (c) {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) F 3 : x1 x2 x3 = 0} (d) {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) F 3 : x1 = 5x3 } 4. Give an example of a non empty subset U of R2 such that U is closed under addition and undertaking additive inverses(mean- ing u U whenever u U ),but U is not a subspace of R2 . 5. Give an example of a nonempty subset U of R2 such that U is closed under scalar multiplication,but U is not a subspace of R2 . 6. Prove that the intersection of any collection of subspaces of V is a subspace of V. 7. Transform the following matrix to row echelon form 0 2 3 4 1 0 0 2 3 4 A= 2 2 5 2 4 2 0 6 9 7 8. Let A be a matrix such that Ax = 0 for all x. Then show that A must be a zero matrix. 9. Let A Mnn (F ). Prove the following two statements (a) If A is invertible and AB = 0 for B Mnn (F ), then B = 0. (b) If A is not invertible, there is a non zero B Mnn (F ) such that AB = 0. i

10. Assume A Mnn (F ) is upper triangular. Show that A is invertible if and only if every entry on its main diagonal is nonzero. 11. (a) Let A Mnn (F ), B Mnn (F ), m > n. Show that AB is not invertible. (Hint. use the fact any matrix is row equivalent to a row reduce echelon matrix.) (b) Give an example to show that the conclusion in (a) is false if m < n. 12. (a) If = (1 , 2 , , n ) and = (1 , 2 , , n ) are solutions of the system AX = 0 for A Mnn (F ) (it is understood that i , i F for each i), then any linear combination a + b = (a1 + b1 , a2 + b2 , , an + bn ) is also a solution of AX = 0. (b) Let Y Mnn (F ). If X0 , X1 Mn1 are two solutions to the system AX = Y , then X1 = X0 + H where H Mn1 is also a solution of AX = 0. 13. Find the inverse of

Prove that if A is not invertible, then there exists an n n nonsingular matrix B such that AB = 0. 16. Suppose A and B are n n matrices such that AB = In . Prove that BA = In . If the inverse of A2 is B, show that the inverse of A is AB
