    Q1: Let $V$ be complex vector space and $U_1$ and $U_2$ be two subspaces. Is $U_1 \cup U_2$ a subspace again?

    A1: Only in special cases.

    A2: Yes, always.

    A3: No, never!

    Q2: Let $V$ be complex vector space and $U_1$ and $U_2$ be two subspaces. Is $U_1 + U_2$ a subspace again?

    A1: Only in special cases.

    A2: Yes, always.

    A3: No, never!

    Q3: Let $A \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}$ for $n\geq 2$ and $\lambda$ be an eigenvalue. What is always correct?

    A1: $\mathbb{C}^n = $ $\mathrm{Ker}((A-\lambda \mathbf{1})^k) $ $\oplus $ $ \mathrm{Ran}((A-\lambda \mathbf{1})^k)$ for every $k$ equal to the Fitting index.

    A2: $\mathbb{C}^n = $ $ \mathrm{Ker}((A-\lambda \mathbf{1})^k) $ $ \oplus $ $ \mathrm{Ran}((A-\lambda \mathbf{1})^k)$ for every $k \in \mathbb{N}$.

    A3: $\mathbb{C}^n = $ $ \mathrm{Ker}(A-\lambda \mathbf{1}) $ $ \oplus $ $ \mathrm{Ran}(A-\lambda \mathbf{1})$.
