Explanation / Answer

+ The set R of real numbers under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation.

Yes, it is a vector space.


+ The set {(x,0)¦x € R} under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation on R^2

Yes, it is a vector space.


+ The set {(x,1)¦x € R} under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation on R^2

No, it is not a vector space. Zero vector is not in the set.


+The set {(x,0) ¦x € R, x=0} under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation on R^2

Yes, it is a vector space.


+The set {(x,1) ¦x € R, x=0} under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation on R^2


No, it is not a vector space. Zero vector is not in the set.


+The set { [ a a+b] }
{ [ a+b a ] ¦a,b € R } under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation on R^2×2

Yes, it is a vector space.


+The set { [a a+b+1] }  

{ [a+b a ] ¦a,b € R} under the usual operations of addition and multiplacation on R^2×2


Not a vector space. Zero vector is not in the set.
