Suppose v1,…,vm∈Vv_1,\dots,v_m \in V. Let

A={λ1v1+⋯+λmvm:λ1,…,λm∈F and λ1+⋯+λm=1}.A = \{\lambda_1 v_1 + \dots + \lambda_m v_m : \lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m \in \mathbf{F} \text{ and } \lambda_1 + \dots + \lambda_m = 1\}.
  1. Prove that AA is an affine subset of VV
  2. Prove that every affine subset of VV that contains v1,…,vmv_1,\dots,v_m also contains AA.
  3. Prove that A=v+UA = v + U for some v∈Vv \in V and subspace UU of VV with dim⁡U≤m−1\dim U \le m - 1.
