- (a)
- The set \(V\) of all polynomials of degree greater than or equal to 3, together
with 0; operations of \(\mathbb {P}\).
\(V\) is a vector space. \(V\) is not a vector space.
- (b)
- The set \(V\) of all polynomials of degree less than or equal to 3; operations of
\(\mathbb {P}\).
\(V\) is a vector space. \(V\) is not a vector space.
- (c)
- The set \(V\) of \(2 \times 2\) matrices with zero determinant; usual matrix operations.
\(V\) is a vector space. \(V\) is not a vector space.
- (d)
- The set \(V\) of all \(2 \times 2\) matrices whose entries sum to 0; usual matrix operations.
\(V\) is a vector space. \(V\) is not a vector space.
Are the following vector spaces with the indicated operations?
