Exercise 2

Avg difficulty 3.0

Find the additive inverse, in the vector space, of the vector.

  • In P3\mathcal{P}_{3}, the vector −3−2x+x2-3-2x+x^{2}.

  • In the space 2 ⁣× ⁣22\!\times\!2,

    (1−103).\begin{pmatrix}1&-1\\ 0&3\end{pmatrix}.
  • In {aex+be−x∣a,b∈R}\{\hskip 1.00006ptae^{x}+be^{-x}\mid a,b\in\mathbb{R}\hskip 1.00006pt\}, the space of functions of the real variable xx under the natural operations, the vector 3ex−2e−x3e^{x}-2e^{-x}.
