Exercise 1.6.14

Answers

For W1 we can observe that by setting a2 = p, a3 = q, a4 = s, and a5 = t we can solve a1 = q + s. So W1 = {(q+s,p,q,s,t) = p(0,1,0,0,0)+q(1,0,1,0,0)+s(1,0,0,1,0)+t(0,0,0,0,1) : p,q,s,t 𝔽5}. And

{(0,1,0,0,0),(1,0,1,0,0),(1,0,0,1,0),(0,0,0,0,1)}

is the basis. The dimension is four. And similarly for W2 we may set a4 = s, a5 = t. And then we have a1 = t, a2 = a3 = a4 = s and

W2 = {(t,s,s,s,t) = s(0,1,1,1,0) + t(1,0,0,0,1) : s,t 𝔽5}

. And hence

{(0,1,1,1,0),(1,0,0,0,1)}

is the basis of W2. The dimension is two.
