Answer:

1. Yes.

2. No.

3. Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the following subsets of Pn given by

1.Let W1 be the set of all polynomials of the form p(t)=at^2, where a is in ℝ.

2.Let W2 be the set of all polynomials of the form p(t)=t^2+a, where a is in ℝ.

3. Let W3 be the set of all polynomials of the form p(t)=at^2+at, where a is in ℝ.

Recall that given a vector space V, a subset W of V is a subspace if the following criteria hold:

- The 0 vector of V is in W.

- Given v,w in W then v+w is in W.

- Given v in W and a a real number, then av is in W.

So, for us to check if the three subsets are a subset of Pn, we must check the three criteria.

- First property:

Note that for W2, for any value of a, the polynomial we get is not the zero polynomial. Hence the first criteria is not met. Then, W2 is not a subspace of Pn.

For W1 and W3, note that if a= 0, then we have p(t) =0, so the zero polynomial is in W1 and W3.

- Second property:

W1. Consider two elements in W1, say, consider a,b different non-zero real numbers and consider the polynomials

p_1 (t) = at^2, p_2(t)=bt^2.

We must check that p_1+p_2(t) is in W1.

Note that

p_1(t)+p_2(t) = at^2+bt^2  = (a+b)t^2

Since a+b is another real number, we have that p1(t)+p2(t) is in W1.

W3. Consider two elements in W3. Say p_1(t) = a(t^2+t), p_2(t)= b(t^2+t). Then

p_1(t) + p_2(t) = a(t^2+t) + b(t^2+t) = (a+b) (t^2+t)

So, again, p1(t)+p2(t) is in W3.

- Third property.

W1. Consider an element in W1 p(t) = at^2and a real scalar b. Then

bp(t) = b(at^2) = (ba)t^2).

Since (ba) is another real scalar, we have that bp(t) is in W1.

W3. Consider an element in W3 p(t) = a(t^2+t)and a real scalar b. Then

bp(t) = b(a(t^2+t)) = (ba)(t^2+t).

Since (ba) is another real scalar, we have that bp(t) is in W3.

After all,

W1 and W3 are subspaces of Pn for n= 2

and W2 is not a subspace of Pn.

There are two ways to list the angles:

1) Simply name them based on the points:

∠W , ∠X , ∠Y , ∠Z

2) The way that I believe that you are supposed to list them in this case. List them as such:

∠WYZ , ∠YZX , ∠ZXW , ∠XWY

Jason's mom drove at 100km/hr for a 160km trip.how much longer would the trip have taken if she had driven at 90km/hr
kondor19780726 [428]
We use the formule: t=S/v. So:
+ t1= 160/100 = 8/5 hrs = 5760''
+ t2= 160/90 = 16/9 hrs = 6400''

=> t2-t1= 6400 - 5760 = 640'' = 10'40''

Sharon wants to buy a shirt that costs $50. the sales tax is 5%. how much is the sales tax? what is her total cost for the shirt
maria [59]
5% of $50 = 5/100 x 50 = $2.50
Total = 50 + 2.50 = $52.50

The saes tax is $2.50; her total cost of the shirt is $52.50
