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.

C)<br> A bus drives for 3/2 hours at an average speed of 56 mph.<br> How far does the bus drive?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The bus drives 84 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to relationship between average speed and time

The given parameters are;

The time duration in which the bus drives = 3/2 hours = 1.5 hours

The average speed of the bus = 56 mph

The formula average speed is given as follows;

Average \ speed = \dfrac{The \ total \ distance \ driven}{The \ time \ duration \ of \ travel}

Therefore, we have;

The total distance driven = Average speed × The time duration of travel

The total distance driven = The distance the bus drives

Substituting the given values, gives;

The distance the bus drives = 56 miles/hour × 1.5 hours = 84 miles

The distance the bus drives = 84 miles.

kondaur [170]
Hello :
tan²(θ) = 3.. equi : tan(θ) = √3  or tan(θ) = -√3
1 ) tan(θ) = √3
tan(θ) = tan(<span>π/3)
</span>θ = π/3 +kπ  k in Z
2)tan(θ) = -√3
tan(θ) = tan(-π/3)
θ = -π/3 +kπ  k in Z
