I apologize for not having any attempted work, but I have no idea how to even begin tackling this proof.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Let V be a vector space,
Let W1, ..., Wk be subspaces of V, and,
Let Vj = W1 + ... + Wj-1 + Wj+1 + ... + Wk.
Suppose that V = W1 [itex]\oplus[/itex] ... [itex]\oplus[/itex] Wk.
Prove that the dual space V* has the direct-sum decomposition V* = Vo1 [itex]\oplus[/itex] ... [itex]\oplus[/itex] Vok.
See above.
Again, I apologize for not having any attempted work, but I have no idea how to even begin tackling this proof.
