Question

I got part A I just need help with part B. i,ii,iii Please and thank you

(a) Let V be the set of real-valued functions that are defined at each r in the interval (-0, 0). If f = f(z) and = g(x) are two functions in V and k is any scal ar, we define the operations of addition and scal ar multiplication by (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(1), (kf)(x) = kf(z). Verify the Vector Space Axioms for the given set of vectors. (b) Given pi =1+ 2x +?, p2 = 2 + 9x, and p3 = 3 + 3x + 47°, i. show that the set S = {P1, P2, P3} is a basis for P2. ii. express p= 2 + 171 - 37° as a linear combination of the vectors in S. iii. find the coordinate vector of p relative to S.

It may be observed that the entries in the columns of A are the scalar multiples of 1 and the coefficients of x and x2 in p1, p2 and p3.

(i). To show that S is a basis for P2, we will reduce A to its RREF as under:

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 1st row to the 3rd row

Multiply the 2nd row by 1/5

Add 2 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

Multiply the 3rd row by -5

Add 3/5 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -3 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

Add -2 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

Then the RREF of A is I3. It implies that S is a basis for P2.

(ii). Let B =

It may be observed that the entries in the first 3 columns of B are same as in A and that entries in the rth column of B are the scalar multiples of 1 and the coefficients of x and x2 in p. Then, after the same row-operations as above, the RREF of B is

It implies that p = p1+2p2-p3.

(iii). From the RREF of B, it is apparent the coordinates of p relative to S are (1,2,-1).
