Brenton · Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

A) False, take (1,-1) and (1,1) both in V, but the sum (2,0) is not

B) True, if A, B are symmetric then A+kB is symmetric as well for k scalar, and zero matrix is symmetric.

C) True. The zero polynom is in V and P+kQ verifies (P+kQ) (0) = P (0) + kQ (0) = 0

D) True. zero is solution and f+kg is since all coefficients are linear.

E) True, same than C)

F) False, the zero function doesn't verify that (and the closure for sum will fail anyway 4+4=8)

G) False, the zero function fail to satisfy this ODE
