Polynomial intersection question

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around polynomial subspaces V1 and V2 defined over the real numbers, specifically focusing on their intersection and sum. Participants are tasked with finding values of coefficients that allow certain polynomial functions to belong to these subspaces.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the definitions of the subspaces V1 and V2, questioning how specific polynomial functions can belong to these spaces. There are inquiries about the requirements for a function to be in the intersection of V1 and V2, as well as the sum of the two subspaces.

Discussion Status

Some participants are seeking clarification on the nature of the functions that can be represented in V1 and V2, while others are attempting to understand the implications of the coefficients involved. There is an ongoing exploration of specific examples and the conditions necessary for polynomial membership in the defined spaces.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the absence of specific numerical values for the coefficients in the original problem statement, which may affect the ability to provide concrete examples of functions belonging to the subspaces.

V1={cx^3+ax^2|c,a exists in R}
V2={dx^3-bx^2 -d|d,b exists in R}
find all the values of a,b that [tex]f(x)\epsilon V1\cap V2[/tex]
??

find all the values of a,b that [tex]f(x)\epsilon V1+ V2[/tex]
??
i know how to solve such question using vectors
but
they are not using using vector but some hoe check the coefficients

Can you list a specific function (with numbers instead of c and a) that belongs to V1? Can you list a specific function (with numbers instead of d and b) that belongs to V2?

What does it take for a function to belong to both V1 and V2; i.e., to [itex]V1 \cap V2[/itex]?
 
V1 and V2 are subspaces of [tex]R_4[x][/tex]
polynomial field over R of power smaller then 4

f(x)=ax^3 +bx^2 +ax -b which belongs to [tex]R_4[x][/tex]

that all i am given
no numbes
 
I know what you're given. Can you use the information that you are given, and give me a specific function (with numbers instead of c and a) that belongs to V1? Can you list a specific function (with numbers instead of d and b) that belongs to V2?

Was that exactly what the problem says? It looks to me like you will need a specific choice for d and c rather than a, b. For example if c= d= 0, then your functions reduce to ax^2 and -bx^2.
