Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around checking answers to a series of mathematical problems related to linear algebra, specifically focusing on concepts such as dimensions of vector spaces, kernels, and images of linear transformations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the correctness of answers to specific questions, with some confirming correctness and others suggesting partial correctness. Questions are raised about the dimensions of image and kernel, as well as clarifications on notation used in the problems.

Discussion Status

Some participants have confirmed the correctness of certain answers, while others are exploring the implications of theorems related to dimensions. There is an ongoing inquiry into specific notations and the reasoning behind certain answers, indicating a productive dialogue without explicit consensus.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of homework rules, and some are seeking clarification on notation that may not have been fully explained in the original problem statements.

1,2,3 are correct.

Your answer for 4 is partially correct: there are two statements that are definitely true, not one.

For 5, use this theorem:

dim(V) = dim(kernel(phi)) + dim(image(phi))

For 6, I am not sure what this notation means:

\mathbb{R}^1 0

Can you please clarify?

For 7, a) and e) are correct, but there is one more. What is the dimension of the quotient space V/U?

For 4 is c) correct too?

And for 5 how do I find the dimension of image(\phi) ?

In question 6, I don't know what that notation means either, so I've sent an email and queried it.

For 7, d) is correct too (12 - 3 = 9)
 
Ted123 said:

Yes. Can you explain why?

And for 5 how do I find the dimension of image(\phi) ?

This is given, implicitly. The map is a surjection (onto). So image(\phi) = ?

For 7, d) is correct too (12 - 3 = 9)

Right.

For \phi to be an isomorphism it must be one-to-one which implies the kernel is trivial.

\text{image}(\phi ) = W and \text{dim}(W)=4

so \text{dim}[\text{kernel}(\phi )] = 8-4=4

I've had an answer back for question 6 and apparently this should read \phi : \mathbb{R}^{10} \to \mathcal{C}[0,1] (ie. \mathbb{R}^{10} is the space of real column vectors of length 10).

Yes, those answers are correct.

OK, so for 6, you can again use

dim(V) = dim(kernel(phi)) + dim(image(phi))

Hint: the target space is irrelevant.

\text{dim}[\text{image}(\phi)] = 10-1 = 9

Correct.
