Which of the following sets are subspaces of R3?

A. {(x,y,z) | x,y,z>0}
B. {(x,y,z) | 9x+7y=0,4x+6z=0}
C. {(x,y,z) | x+y+z=0}
D. {(x,x9,x7) | x arbitrary number }
E. {(x,y,z) | x+y+z=6}
F. {(6x,2x,3x) | x arbitrary number }

Explanation / Answer

Which of the following sets are subspaces of R3?

A. {(x,y,z) | x,y,z>0} this is not a subspace since does not contain zero vector
B. {(x,y,z) | 9x+7y=0,4x+6z=0}   this is a subspace since does contain zero vector
C. {(x,y,z) | x+y+z=0}  this is a subspace since does contain zero vector
D. {(x,x9,x7) | x arbitrary number } no , since not closed under addition
E. {(x,y,z) | x+y+z=6}   this is not a subspace since does not contain zero vector
F. {(6x,2x,3x) | x arbitrary number }   no , since not closed under addition
