    Linear Algebra I, Sheet 4, MT2021

    Bases and subspaces. Dimension formula. Direct sums.

    Main course
    1. Find the row rank of each of the following matrices:
         
    2 4 −3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0
    (a)  1 −4 3 0  (b)  2 3 4 1  (c)  2 3 4 2 
    3 −5 2 1 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 2

    2. Let V be a vector space and let U , W be subspaces of V . Show that U \ W is never a subspace.
    Find a necessary and sufficient condition for U ∪ W to be a subspace.

    3. Let V = Rn where n > 2, and let U and W be subspaces of V of dimension n − 1.


    (a) Show that if U 6= W then dim(U ∩ W ) = n − 2.
    (b) Now suppose that n > 3 and let U1 , U2 , U3 be three distinct subspaces of dimension n − 1. Must
    it be true that dim(U1 ∩ U2 ∩ U3 ) = n − 3? Give a proof or find a counterexample.
    (c) Show that if dim U 6 n − 2 then there are infinitely many different subspaces X such that
    U 6X 6V.

    4. Let V = R4 , and let

    X = {(x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 ) ∈ V : x2 + x3 + x4 = 0},
    Y = {(x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 ) ∈ V : x1 + x2 = x3 − 2x4 = 0}.

    Find bases for X, Y , X ∩ Y and X + Y , and write down the dimensions of these subspaces.

    5. Let V be an n-dimensional vector space.


    (a) Prove that V contains a subspace of dimension r for each r in the range 0 6 r 6 n.
    (b) Show that if U0 < U1 < · · · < Uk 6 V (strict containments of subspaces of V ) then k 6 n. Show
    also that if k = n then dim Ur = r for 0 6 r 6 k.
    (c) Let U , W be subspaces of V such that U 6 W . Show that there is a subspace X of V such that
    W ∩ X = U and W + X = V .

    6. (a) Show that V = U ⊕ W if and only if every vector v ∈ V can be expressed uniquely in the
    form v = u + w with u ∈ U and w ∈ W .
    (b) Let V = R3 and U = {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) ∈ V : x1 + x2 + x3 = 0}. For each of the following subspaces
    W , either prove that V = U ⊕ W , or explain why this is not true:
    (i) W = {(x, 0, −x) : x ∈ R};
    (ii) W = {(x, 0, x) : x ∈ R};
    (iii) W = {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) ∈ V : x1 = x3 }.

    S1. For each of the following sets S in a vector space V , find a basis for hSi.

    (i) S = {(1, 0, 3), (−2, 5, 4)} ⊆ R3

    (ii) S = {(6, 2, 0, −1), (3, 5, 9, −2), (−1, 0, 7, 8), (5, 5, −1, 2)} ⊆ R4

    (iii) S = {(7, −3, 2, 11, 2), (0, 4, 9, −5, 16), (20, −13, 16, 24, 38), (1, 12, 8, −1, 0)} ⊆ R5

    S2. Let U , W be subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space V . The following are equivalent:

    (i) V = U ⊕ W ;

    (ii) every v ∈ V has a unique expression as u + w where u ∈ U and w ∈ W ;

    (iii) dim V = dim U + dim W and V = U + W ;

    (iv) dim V = dim U + dim W and U ∩ W = {0V };

    (v) if u1 , . . . , um is a basis for U and w1 , . . . , wn is a basis for W , then u1 , . . . , um , w1 , . . . , wn is


    a basis for V .

    [Note that proving the equivalence of (i) and (ii) is Q6(a) on this sheet!]

    S3. Find an example to show that it is not the case that if V = U ⊕ W then every basis of V is a
    union of a basis of U and a basis of W .

    P1. Find the column rank of each of the matrices in Q1 on this sheet. What do you notice?

    P2. Taking A as each of the three matrices in Q1 on this sheet, find all the solutions to Ax = 0 in
    each case. What do you notice?

    P3. Let V = V1 ⊕ V2 . Take a subspace U 6 V . Must it be true that U = U1 ⊕ U2 where U1 6 V1


    and U2 6 V2 ? (Find a proof or give a counterexample.)
