Question

(True or False)
Let V be a vector space with dimension equal to 4.

1. Every subspace of V has dimension at most4.             (T / F)
2. There is a subspace of V with dimension4.                  (T / F)
3. Every set of vectors from V with at least 4 elements spans thewholespace.          (T / F)
4. It is possible to find 5 linearly independent elements ofV.                                      (T / F)
5. If a subset of V is linearly independent and spans V, then ithas 4elements.            (T / F)
6. If a subset of V has 4 elements and spans V, then it cannot belinearly dependent.   (T / F)
7. It is not possible to span V with only 3vectors.            (T / F)
8. If a spanning set has at most as many elements as a linearlyindependent set, then the two sets have the same number ofelements.                                                                                    (T / F)

Explanation / Answer

Examples assume V = R4 1) True. Subspace dimensions could exist of 0, 1, 2, 3, or4 2) True. V is a subspace of itself with dimension 4 3) False. Consider the subspace spanned by {(1, 0, 0,0)T, (2, 0, 0, 0)T, (3, 0, 0, 0)T,(4, 0, 0, 0)T} does not span V. 4) False. A 4-dimensional vector space has exactly 4 linearlyindependent vectors. 5) True. 6) True. A 4-dimensional vector space has exactly 4 linearlyindependent vectors. 7) True. 8) Honestly, don't understand this one completely, but my guess isit's True.
