If V1 and V2 are vector spaces, what is meant by V1⊕V2 ? If V1 and V2 are subspaces of a vector space V, what is meant by V1+V2 ?
Stating clearly any theorems you use, show that if V1 and V2 are subspaces of a finite dimensional vector space V, then
dimV1+dimV2=dim(V1∩V2)+dim(V1+V2)
Let V1,V2⊂R4 be subspaces with bases
V1=⟨(3,2,4,−1),(1,2,1,−2),(−2,3,3,2)⟩V2=⟨(1,4,2,4),(−1,1,−1,−1),(3,1,2,0)⟩.
Find a basis ⟨v1,v2⟩ for V1∩V2 such that the first component of v1 and the second component of v2 are both 0 .
