Let A and B be subsets of a vector space V. Assume that A ⊂ span(B) and that B ⊂ span(A) Prove that A = B.
I don't know how to go about this question, any help would be appreciated.

That is not true. Choose for example $V=\mathbb{R}^2,$ $A=\{(1,0)\}$ and $B=\{(2,0)\}.$

Quite likely what you were actually after is the following:

If $A\subseteq\text{ span}(B)$ and $B\subseteq\text{ span}(A)$, then $\text{span}(A)=\text{span}(B)$.

Let $\text{span}(A)=U$ and $\text{span}(B)=W$.

Since $A\subseteq W$, we have $\text{span}(A)=U\subseteq W$. This is because $W$ is a subspace of $V$. Similarly $W\subseteq U$. We get $W=U$ and we are done.
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
