The following definitions are used in Exercises 23–30.
Definition. If S1 and S2 are nonempty subsets of a vector space V, then the sum of S1 and S2, denoted S1+S2, is the set {x+y : x ∈ S1 and y ∈ S2}.
Definition. A vector space V is called the direct sum of W1 and W2 if W1 and W2 are subspaces of V such that W1 ∩ W2 = {0} and W1 +W2 = V. We denote that V is the direct sum of W1 and W2 by writing V = W1 ⊕ W2.
Show that Fn is the direct sum of the subspaces
W1 = {(a1, a2, . . . , an) ∈ Fn : an = 0}
And
W2 = {(a1, a2, . . . , an) ∈ Fn : a1 = a2 = · · · = an−1 = 0}.
