1. Let W be the collection of polynomials, p(x), for which p'(5)=0 (the derivative of the polynomial when x = 5 is 0).

  1. State two polynomials that would belong to this set, W.
  2. State one polynomial that does not belong to this set.
  3. Is W a subspace of the vector space containing all polynomial functions? That is, is this subset of polynomials closed under addition and scalar multiplication, and does it contain a zero vector? Justify your answer. (You do not have to give a detailed proof, but you should thoroughly explain your thought process using the theorems in section 4.1.)

2.  If the definition of the subset W is changed to the collection of polynomials, p(x), for which p'(5)=1, does that change your verdict as to whether W is a subspace? Explain your answer
