Worksheet 4 Linear Algebra (MATB 253) : A B A B C

This document contains 7 questions regarding linear algebra concepts such as subspaces, linear combinations, linear independence, bases, and matrix operations. Question 1 asks to find a basis and dimension for the subspace of symmetric matrices with a given form. Question 2 asks to determine if a set is a subspace of Rn given a condition on the elements. Question 3 involves expressing a vector as a linear combination and determining linear independence. The remaining questions involve topics such as linear combinations of polynomials, spanning sets, bases of polynomial spaces, standard matrices of compositions of linear transformations, and properties deduced from a reduced row echelon form matrix.
