hkus10 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 1) How to show that if W is a subspace of a finite-dimensional vector space V, then W is finite-dimensional and dim W<= dimV. 2) How to show that if a subspace of a finite-dimensional vector space V and dim W = dimV, then W = V. 3) How to prove that the subspace of R^3 are{0}, R^3 itself, and any line or plane passing through the origin. How to approach these three Questions? Thanks

How to approach these three Questions? Thanks What have you tried ? These should be pretty simple if you were paying attention in class. D0 you know the definitions of: 1) linearly independent set, 2) spanning set, 3) basis, and 4) dimension ?
