(a) (6 marks) The set U={(x2−x)p∣p∈P3} is a subspace of P5 (You don't need to show this). Find a basis for U and state dim(U). Verify that your choice of basis is in fact a basis for U, that is, verify that it is a linearly independent spanning set for U. (b) Let W={B∈Mn(R)∣AB=BA}, where A is a fixed, but unknown, matrix in Mn(R). - (5 marks) Prove that W is a subspace of Mn (R) by showing that properties (i), (ii), and (iii) of the Subspace Criterion hold, that is, show that it is non-empty and is closed under both addition and scalar multiplication. - (6 marks) Now let A=[1111] so that W={B∈M2(R)∣AB=BA}. Find a basis for W and state dim(W). Verify that your choice of basis is in fact a basis for W, that is, verify that it is a linearly independent spanning set for W.
