Homework Statement


How could I prove that the subset of a finite dimensional space is also finite dimensional?


Homework Equations


N/A


The Attempt at a Solution


I think it's more intuitive in the sense that since the vector space is finite dimensional the subset is forcibly finite dimensional.

What is the definition of "finite dimensional"?

Btw, I think you mean "subspace", not "subset".
 
do you mean subspace?

any basis for the subpace will be contained in the finite dimensional space. What is the maximum number of linearly independent vectors in any subset of a finite dimensional space?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
