Exercise 1.3.25

Let W1 denote the set of all polynomials f(x) in P(F) such that in the representation

f(x) = anxn + a n1xn1 + + a 1x + a0,

we have ai = 0 whenever i is even. Likewise let W2 denote the set of all polynomials g(x) in P(F) such that in the representation

g(x) = bmxm + b m1xm1 + + b 1x + b0,

we have bi = 0 whenever i is odd. Prove that P(F) = W1 W2.
