Expert-verifiedLet H be an n-dimensional subspace of an n-dimensional vector space V. Explain why \(H = V\).
H is a subspace of V, and B is also in V. As B is a linearly independent set in V, B must also be a basis for V.
The bases of H and V have exactly n vectors because H is an n-dimensional subspace of V.
For \(n = 0\),
\(H = V = \left\{ 0 \right\}\).
For subspace H is n-dimensional subspace, there is a B for H. B must have n elements and be linearly independent.
Since H is a subspace of V and B is also in V, B is a linearly independent set in V. So, B must also be a basis for V. Hence, H and V are the same.
