Question 1
What does it mean for a vector space to be the direct sum of two subspaces?
- They share some vectors
- Every vector can be uniquely expressed as a sum
- They overlap completely
💡 Hint: Consider uniqueness in representation.
Question 2

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Demonstrate how to find the direct sum of two span sets in R³: Let A = span{(1,0,0), (0,1,0)} and B = span{(0,0,1)}. Show they form a direct sum.
💡 Hint: Check the independence criteria and that they cover R³.
Question 2
Design a hypothetical structural problem where decomposing the system into direct sums simplifies the analysis. Discuss the mathematical representation.
💡 Hint: Highlight how this separation aids in applying engineering principles.
