1 point Consider the subset W of R3 consisting of all vector
(1 point) Consider the subset W of R3 consisting of all vectors y such that x +y+z2-2. 2 Select all statements that are correct: A. W is closed under addition. B. W is closed under scalar multiplication. C. There exists a 3 x 3 matrix A whose kernel is W D. W contains the zero vector. E. There exists a 3 X 3 matrix B whose image is W F W is a subspace of R
Solution
A. It is not closed under addition
Consider two points
(0,0,-2) and (0,0,-1) both lie in W
Adding the two points gives
(0,0,-3) which is not in W\\
B. False
(0,0,3) is a point in W
Multiplying by -1 gives
(0,0,-3) which is not in W
C. False
Kernel equation will be an equality not an inequality
D. True
0+0+0=0>-2
E. False
Image set of a matrix will be defined by an equality not an inequalty
F. False
W is not closed under addition or scalar multiplication
Hence not a subspace
