    Total: 20 Marks Time: 1:00 Hrs.

    Question 1 (4 Marks)
    a) If A and B are two n × n real matrices such that AB = 5In×n , then is it true that
    BA = 5In×n ? If true, give a proof else, give a counterexample.
    b) Let A be a 3 × 4 real matrix of rank 3. Show that there exists 4 × 3 real matrix B such
    that AB = I3×3 .
    Question 2 (3 Marks) Consider the vector space P3 (R) of polynomials of degree less than
    or equal to three with real coefficients.
    a) Prove that B = {1 − x, 1 + x2 , 1 − x3 , 1 + x − x3 } is a basis for P3 (R).
    b) Find the coordinates of the vector u = 1 + x + x2 + x3 with respect to ordered basis B.
    Question 3 (4 Marks) Consider the vector space C2 (C). Find all possible linear transfor-
    mations T : C2 → C2 such that T 2 := T ◦ T : C2 → C2 (the composition of T with itself) is
    given by
    T 2 (z1 , z2 ) = (−z1 + 2z2 , −z2 ) for all (z1 , z2 ) ∈ C2 .

    and w2 ∈ W2 . Prove that dim W1 + dim W2 ≤ dim V .
    b) Let W1 , W2 be subspaces of the vector space R4 over R given by
    W1 = span{(4, 3, 2, 1), (1, 1, 1, 2), (3, 2, 1, −1)}
    W2 = span{(1, 0, 3, 2), (4, 3, 2, 1)}
    Find the dimension of W1 + W2 .
