PreTeXt Sample Book Abstract Algebra (SAMPLE ONLY)

Exercises 5.30 Timed Chapter Exam

    This is an <exercises> division, as a peer of the <section> in this <chapter> of a <book>. It is also setup as a Runestone timed exam. So it is an example of how you might have a per-chapter exam. This contrasts with an earlier timed exam which is constructed as a per-section exam (Exercises 5.21). The exercises are the same here, but in a different order. As a test, this exam is “pauseable” and has a 15 minute time limit.

    1. Multiple-Choice, Not Randomized, One Answer.

    What color is a stop sign?
    • Green
    • Green means “go!”.
    • Red
    • Red is universally used for prohibited activities or serious warnings.
    • White
    • White might be hard to see.
    Hint 1.
    What did you see last time you went driving?
    Hint 2.
    Maybe go out for a drive?

    2. True/False.

      Every vector space has finite dimension.
    • True.

    • The vector space of all polynomials with finite degree has a basis, \(B = \{1,x,x^2,x^3,\dots\}\text{,}\) which is infinte.
    • False.

    • The vector space of all polynomials with finite degree has a basis, \(B = \{1,x,x^2,x^3,\dots\}\text{,}\) which is infinte.
    Hint.
    \(P_n\text{,}\) the vector space of polynomials with degree at most \(n\text{,}\) has dimension \(n+1\) by Theorem 3.2.16. [Cross-reference is just a demo, content is not relevant.] What happens if we relax the defintion and remove the parameter \(n\text{?}\)
