Linearity Condition
L((s ⊙V x) ⊕V (t ⊙V y)) = (s ⊙W L(x)) ⊕W (t ⊙W L(y))
Span of polynomials
Span(B) = {t1p1(x) + · · · + tkpk(x) | t1, …, tk ∈ R}
Linear Independence of Span
The set B = {p1(x), …, pk(x)} is said to be linearly independent if the only solution to the equation
t1p1(x) + · · · + tkpk(x) = 0
is t1 = · · · = tk = 0; otherwise, there is a solution where not all ti are zero, for which B is said to be linearly
dependent.
Monomial Basis
The collection of polynomials of degree at most n is denoted Pn. The collection of polynomials given by
{1, x, x2, …, xn}
Closure under add.
x ⊕ y ∈ V
Commutativity of add
x ⊕ y = y ⊕ x
Associativity of add.
(x ⊕ y) ⊕ z = x ⊕ (y ⊕ z)
Existence of zero
There is a 0 ∈ V such that 0 ⊕ v = v for all v ∈ V
Existence of inverse
For each v ∈ V there exists a −v ∈ V such that v ⊕ −v = 0
Closure under mult.
s ⊙ x ∈ V
Associativity of mult.
s ⊙ (t ⊙ x) = (st) ⊙ x
Distributivity of scalar add.
