Attempt all questions by showing the necessary steps clearly.


1. Let V be the set of all real numbers x such that x ≥ 0. Define ⊕ and ⊙ as:

x ⊕ y = xy + 1 and α ⊙ x = α2 x for all x, y ∈ V and α ∈ R.

Then check whether V is a real vector space or not. Justify your answer.

2. Let M2×2 (R) be the set of all 2 × 2 matrices with entries in R. Define vector addition
and scalar multiplication as:
         
a b e f a+e b+f a b αa αb
+ = , and α =
c d g h c+g d+h c d αc αd

for all a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h ∈ R and α ∈ R. Then show that M2×2 (R) is a real vector space
and find its basis.

3. Suppose the vector u, v, w are linearly independent. Show that the vectors u + v, u −
v, u − 2v + w are linearly independent.
