The total mark is 42 PS#12 4 Q1(a) 4 Q1(b) 4 Q1(c) 4 Q1(d) 8 Q2 8 Q3 6 Q5 4 Q6 ------------------------------------- 1c: Some people are still forgetting the zero vector. 2: Only about 4 or 5 considered the case of w1 and w2 being linearly dependent. 5: Many did not state why lamda != 0 ------------------------------------- - In question one, some people are still forgetting to check that a subspace is nonempty. - Very few people got the second question correct. Most of them simply said that {lambda}_1 w_1 + {lambda}_2 w_2 cannot equal {lambda}(w_1 + w_2) without justification. - In question 5, a common error was failing to check that {lambda} is nonzero. ------------------------- ------------------------- generally most marks were lost on Q2, majority of the students didn't consider the 2 cases, w1 and w2 linearly independent and w1 and w2 not lineary independent ------------------------- -------------------------
