Determine if the following set is a vector space with the indicated operations. the set. v of all 2 x 2 real matrices a with standard matrix addition in m22 but scalar multiplication defined by a * a : =aa", a er.

so the addition is not a problem here, i understand that you write a*A = a.A so is a scalar product. if your matrix is A1, A2, A3, A4, and you multiply this with an scalar a defined in the real set.

then a*A = a.A1, a.A2, a.A3, a.A4

so this multiplication still gives you a 2x2 matrix, that is in your space.

so the defined here is a Vector space, because the addition of two of his objects results in other object in the set.

And also has a scalar multiplication that if you feed it with an object on the set, it returns another object on the set.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
