2. Let V be the vector space over C consisting of all infinite sequences (01, 02, 03, ... ) with only finitely many nonzero entries. Let eį be the sequence with only one nonzero entry being 1 at i-th position. It follows that B := {C1, C2, ... } is a basis for V. Show that, however, ß* = {et, e, ... } is NOT a basis for V*. (Hint. Let f EV* defined by f(a1, 42, ...) Lieldi. Explain that f is well-defined and show that f & span 8*. Note that in a vector space, “span” only collects finite linear combinations.) Remark. If dim V = 0, one can show that dim V* > dim V.
