1st
P2 needs 3 independent polynomials to form a basis; 2x2 matrices needs 4 independent matrices.

Why is not p0, p1, p2 or 1 2 3 but p0, p1, p4?

Part b has no relation to the numbers in the matrix in question? Please make it clearer, thanks

Regarding 10b), since we are certain that P0, P1 & P4 form a basis, P2 & P3 are dependant to this basis, so they are no necessary. On how to spot the simplest basis, it's to look for the simplest, namely, one scalar without t, one term with t only and one term with t^2 only. P0 & P1 meet the first 2 requirements; P4 has an extra scalar term, but it can be easily eliminated with a combination with P0. Therefore, P0, P2 & P4 form a basis.

Regarding 11b), 2x2 matrix has 4 variables, so we need 2 more to form a basis, notice the 2 given matrices are linearly independent? If they are dependent to each other, we will need 3 more. On what matrices should these other 2 be? Choose the simplest. The two given by me are the simplest.

Must get the definition of basis of vector space first. Then it's easy to solve these questions. Basis is like the minimum elements in a recipe, short of one, we can't make the soup.

For 10b, other combinations can form a basis of P2, but the one we chose is the simplest. P0, P1 & P2 is a basis too. So is P0, P1 & P3.

Sorry, not P0, P1 & P3, because P3 has no t^2 term.

P0, P1& P4 is just one basis. They are other combinations which can be basis too. Question is asking for ONE basis, not ALL basises.

Glad you find it useful. Enjoy math!
