Name:

Answer true-false. Include a short explanation or calculation to support your T/F answer.

  1. For any matrix A, A=AT.

  2. A vector space may have more than one zero vector.

  3. In some vector space a,b are scalars, u is a vector.

    a u = b u implies a = b.

  4. In some vector space a is a scalar, u,v are vectors.

    a u = a v implies u=v.

  5. Choose n vectors in some vector space. The zero vector can be obtained by linear combination of the n chosen vectors.

  6. For vectors, x,y,z, let (x,y) be an inner product. If (x,y)=(x,z) then y=z.

  7. If the inner product (x,y)= 0 for all vectors x,y, then y= 0.

  8. If S spans the vector space V, then every vector in V can be written as a linear combination of vectors in S in only one way.
