HW due 10/9: 3.1.5, 3.1.8, 3.1.13, 3.2.2, 3.2.7, 3.2.9, and the following:
- A. Let \(V = F[x]\), and let \(D, X, I \in L(V, V)\) be defined as follows: \(D\) is differentiation, \(X(f) = xf\) (multiplication by \(x\)), and \(I\) is the identity. Compute \(\ker(XD - I)\). Make sure to prove your answer!
HW due 10/2: 2.3.7, 2.4.6, 2.6.6 (for b, give equations for the \(x_i\)), and the following:
- A. Suppose \(V\) is a vector space and \(L = (\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n)\) is a list of vectors spanning \(V\). Given an algorithm for finding a sublist of \(L\) which is a basis for \(V\). Prove that your algorithm works.
- B. Let \(F = \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\) and \(V = F^n\). How many ordered bases does \(V\) have?
