    Linear Algebra study questions... (Help).

    I believe that my answers may be some what accurate. I was hoping that some of you who are good in Linear Algebra can double check my answers. This is part of a practice test the professor gave us. I will double check with him throughout the week.

    Part I. True or False. Write T if the assertion is always true, and F if the assertion is sometimes false. In true or false questions, you get +1 marks for a correct response, -1 for an incorrect respones, and 0 for no respones.

    1. V = {x(vector) belongs to R(^3) :llx(vector)ll = 1 } is a subspace of R(^3).

    2. R(^2) is a vector subspace of R(^3).

    3. The function T : M (sub. n x n) (R) gets mapped to R given by T(A) = det A is a linear transformation.

    4. The function T : M (sub. n x n) (R) gets mapped to R given by T(A) = tr(A) is a linear transformation.

    5. The function T : M (sub. n x n) (R) gets mapped to M (sub. n x n) (R) given by T(A) = (tr(A))A(^Transpose) is a linear transformation.

    6. The cross product of vectors in R(^3) is associative.

    7. Let A be an n x n matrix. Assume that there is v(vector) that belongs to R(^n) such that the equation Ax(vector) = v(vector) doesn't have solutions x(vector) belongs to R(^n). Then the equation Ax(vector) = 0 has non-zero solutions.

    8. Let V an W be finite-dimensional vector spaces and let T : V mapped to W be a linear transformation. Then T maps a basis in V to a basis in W.

    9. Let V an W be finite-dimensional vector spaces and let T : V mapped to W be a linear transformation. Then T maps a linearly independent set in V to a linearly independent set in W.

    10. There exists a vector space space without basis.

    Put your answers in this formatt (the way I did it)(any explanations would be great) THANX.
    Here are my answers:

    1. Blank
    2. T
    3. F
    4. F
    5. T
    6. F
    7. T
    8. T
    9. T
    10. F

          No offense, but I was knida thinkin' that. LOL. It has been yet another crazy semester. Did you read the instructions?

            not really...i saw question 1 and gave up trying to figure out what i was looking at... then i saw you had 1 through 10 and asking for help on it...figured id give it a shot at guessing...

              You lose points if you get it wrong.

                    Man, its been far too long. That stuff looks foreign to me and I took that class 5 or 6 years ago.

                      X2, and I only took it like 3 years ago, lol. Honestly haven't used much of it since then, aside from the ability to diagonalize matrices. Well, manipulating matrices in general, actually. But yeah, I've completely forgotten all the stupid rules like these, about spanning sets, and subsets, and bases (as in the plural of basis) and all. That was my least favorite section of the course anyway.

                            i dont know what kind of kirby face R(^3) is but it looks cool imma start using that.

                              Mine too. I can swallow Calculus. Calculus is cool. Linear is ...
