    Q1: Let $X$ be the normed space $\ell^2(\mathbb{N})$. Is there a linear isometric bijection $X \rightarrow X^\prime$?

    A1: Yes!

    A2: No, there is only a conjugate-linear isometric bijection.

    A3: No, the dual space is completely different.

    A4: One needs more information.

    Q2: Let $X$ be the normed space $\ell^3(\mathbb{N})$. Which of the following spaces is isometrically isomorphic to $X^\prime$?

    A1: $ \ell^q(\mathbb{N}) $ with $q = \frac{3}{2} $

    A2: $ \ell^q(\mathbb{N}) $ with $q = \frac{2}{3} $

    A3: $ \ell^q(\mathbb{N}) $ with $q = \frac{1}{3} $

    A4: $ \ell^q(\mathbb{N}) $ with $q = 3 $

    A5: $ \ell^q(\mathbb{N}) $ with $q$ satisfying $ q + 3 = q^{-1} $

    Q3: Let $X = \ell^p(\mathbb{N})$ and $Y = \ell^{q}(\mathbb{N})$ where $p^{-1} + q^{-1} = 1$. Which map gives us an isometric ismorphism between $Y$ and $X^\prime$?

    A1: $y \mapsto \langle \overline{y}, \cdot \rangle_{\ell^2}$

    A2: $y \mapsto \langle \cdot, y \rangle_{\ell^2}$

    A3: $y \mapsto \sum_{j=1}^\infty y_j$

    A4: $y \mapsto \Big(x \mapsto \sum_{j=1}^\infty \overline{y_j} x_j \Big)$
