Abstract

a)
Let w=(-1,1,1,1)
non-empty.
Let v1,
Now:
(v1+v2).w = v1.w +v2.w = 0 + 0 = 0
and
(cv1).w = c(v1.w) = c0 =0
Hence V is a subspace of R4.

b)
if xT(-1,1,1,1)=0
-x1+x2+x3+x4=0
=>
x4=x1-x2-x3
Hence we can write it as follows:
x=x1(1,0,0,1) + x2(0,1,0,-1) + x3(0,0,1,-1)
where xT is x transpose.

Thus B={(1,0,0,1),(0,1,0,-1),(0,0,1,-1)} is a basis of V. The dimension of V is 3.
