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.

Find b and s. At The present time Mrs. B's age is six years more than four times her sons age. Three years ago she was seven tim
padilas [110]

Answer:

Mrs. B's age = y = 38 years

her son's age = x = 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find:

Mrs. B's age = y =?

her son's age = x = ?

Solution:

Let Mrs. B's age  be 'y' years

and her son's age be 'x' years

Three years ago Mrs B's will be (y - 3) and her son's age will be (x - 3)

According to the first given condition,

y = 6 + 4x ...............Equation ( 1 )

According to the second given condition,

(y - 3 ) = 7 (x - 3 )..........Equation ( 2 )

equating equation 1 in equation 2 we get

6 + 4x -3 = 7x - 21

7x - 4x = 21 + 3

∴ 3x=24\\\therefore x =\frac{24}{3} \\\\\therefore x =8\ years

Now substitute x in equation 1 we get

y = 6 + 4×8

y = 6 + 32

∴ y = 38 years

Mrs. B's age = y = 38 years

her son's age = x = 8 years
