True or False? In Exercises 49 and 50, determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from the text. If a statement is false, provide an example that shows the statement is not true in all cases or cite an appropriate statement from the text.
(a) To show that a set is not a
(b) The set of all first-degree polynomials with the standard operations is a vector space.
(c) The set of all pairs of real numbers of the form

- ProofProve in full detail that M2,2, with the standard operations, is a vector space.arrow_forward13. Finish verifying that is a vector space (see Example 6.4).arrow_forwardLet v1, v2, and v3 be three linearly independent vectors in a vector space V. Is the set {v12v2,2v23v3,3v3v1} linearly dependent or linearly independent? Explain.arrow_forward
- Testing for a Vector Space In Exercises 13-36, determine whether the set, together with the standard operations, is a vector space. If it is not, identify at least one of the ten vector space axioms that fails. M4,6arrow_forwardDetermine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from the text. If a statement is false, provide an example that shows the statement is not true in all cases or cite an appropriate statement from the text. (a) To show that a set is not a vector space, it is sufficient to show that just one axiom is not satisfied. True, for a set with two operations to be a vector space all 10 axioms must be satisfied. Therefore, if just one of the axioms fails, then this set cannot be a vector space. False, for a set with two operations to be a vector space a majority of 10 axioms must be satisfied. Therefore, if just one of the axioms fails, then this set can still be a vector space. False, for a set with two operations to be a vector space at least one of the 10 axioms must be satisfied. Therefore, if just one of the axioms fails, then this set can still be a vector space. False, for a set with two operations to be a vector…arrow_forward
