Which of the following is NOT a function space?

  1. The set of all continuous functions on the interval [0, 1]

  2. The set of all polynomials with real coefficients

  3. The set of all functions that are differentiable at least once

  4. The set of all functions that are integrable on the interval [0, 1]


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A function space is a set of functions that satisfy certain conditions. Polynomials with real coefficients are not functions, so they cannot form a function space.

Which of the following is a property of a normed space?

  1. It is complete

  2. It is closed under addition and scalar multiplication

  3. It has a norm that satisfies the triangle inequality

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A normed space is a vector space that is equipped with a norm, which is a function that assigns a non-negative real number to each vector in the space. The norm satisfies certain properties, including completeness, closure under addition and scalar multiplication, and the triangle inequality.

Which of the following is an example of a Banach space?

  1. The space of continuous functions on the interval [0, 1]

  2. The space of differentiable functions on the interval [0, 1]

  3. The space of integrable functions on the interval [0, 1]

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Banach space is a complete normed space. The space of continuous functions on the interval [0, 1] is a complete normed space, so it is a Banach space.

Which of the following is an example of a Hilbert space?

  1. The space of square-integrable functions on the interval [0, 1]

  2. The space of continuous functions on the interval [0, 1]

  3. The space of differentiable functions on the interval [0, 1]

  4. The space of integrable functions on the interval [0, 1]


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Hilbert space is a complete inner product space. The space of square-integrable functions on the interval [0, 1] is a complete inner product space, so it is a Hilbert space.
