Calculus: perpendicular planes in $\mathbb{R}^4$

Let $W \leq \mathbb{R}^n$ and set $$W^{\perp} = \{v \in \mathbb{R}^n | v.w =0, \hspace{0.25cm} \forall w \in W\}$$ (a) Show that $W^{\perp} \leq \mathbb{R}^n$.

(b) Let $v_1=\langle 1, 1, 1, 2\rangle$,$v_2=\langle 2, 1, 1, 1\rangle$, and $v_3=\langle -1, 2, 2, 7\rangle$. Let $T: \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^4$ be the transformation given by $e_1 \mapsto v_1$, $e_2 \mapsto v_2$, and $e_3 \mapsto v_3$.Let $W=img(T)$. Find a basis for $W$ and $W^{\perp}$.

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: non-negative matrix satisfying two conditions

One of our user asked: A real matrix $B$ is called non-negative if every entry is non-negative. We will denote this by $B\ge 0$ . I want to find a non-negative matrix $B$ satisfying the following two conditions: (1) $(I-B)^{-1}$ exists but not non-negative. Here $I$ is the identity matrix. (2) There is a non-zero and non-negative vector $\vec{d}$ such that $(I-B)^{-1}\vec{d}\ge 0$ . I tried all the $2\times 2$ matrices, but it did not work. I conjecture that such a $B$ does not exist, but don't know how to prove it.

Order of elements of the Prüfer groups $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$

Let $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ be defined by $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty}) = \{ \overline{a/b} \in \mathbb{Q}/ \mathbb{Z} / a,b \in \mathbb{Z}, b=p^i$ $ with$ $ i \in \mathbb{N} \}$ , I wish show that any element in $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ has order $p^n$ with $n \in \mathbb{N}$ . i try several ways but I have not been successful, some help ?? thank you
