All parts of the questions in Part I are equally weighed.
Question 1. Circle T for true or F for false for each statement given below. 3
T @ (a) tfwy and w are distinct vectors in R® such that u-v=0 and v- w =0, then
falcata caver al (The standard dot product on is used here.)
(DF (6) #V isa fnite-dimensional inner product space and U C V is a subspace, then
: =U.
A@) F + (¢) The formula ((21,2), (41,4) = 22111 ~ 2taye defines an inner product on R
F : If W is a finite-dimensional subspace of an inner product space V, then the
relation || v — projy(v) || < || v—w | holds for all w in W.
@ F (4) If {e1,€2,¢5,e4} is an orthogonal basis for the inner product space V and
= span{e,e2}, W span{es, eq}, then Ut = W and Wi =U.
Question 2. Which of the following functions are linear transformations ? Circle YES or
NO for each case given below.
NO (a) T: Ps — Ps given by T(f)(2) = (0° +
