Question

In the following list of subsets of R3 , select the ones that are subspaces of R3 (multiple answers).

(As usual, incorrect answers will earn you negative points)

Entire R3

{ (x+y, x-y, y ) | x,y are real numbers }

{ (x,y,z) | x,y,z are all nonnegative real numbers }

{ ( x, -x, 2x ) | x is a real number }

{ (1,1,1) }

{ (x,y,3) | x,y are real numbers }

{ (0,0,0) }

{ (x+1, y+1, z+1) | x,y,z are real numbers }

{ (x,y,0) | x,y are real numbers }

{ (x,y,z) | x + y + z = 1 }

Entire R3

{ (x+y, x-y, y ) | x,y are real numbers }

{ (x,y,z) | x,y,z are all nonnegative real numbers }

{ ( x, -x, 2x ) | x is a real number }

{ (1,1,1) }

{ (x,y,3) | x,y are real numbers }

{ (0,0,0) }

{ (x+1, y+1, z+1) | x,y,z are real numbers }

{ (x,y,0) | x,y are real numbers }

{ (x,y,z) | x + y + z = 1 }

Explanation / Answer

Entire R3 is a subspace of R3, as every vector space is a subspace of itself.                              V = { (x+y, x-y, y ) | x,y are real numbers } is a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication and also contains the zero vector.               V ={ (x,y,z) | x,y,z are all non-negative real numbers } is not a subspace of R3, as it is not closed under scalar multiplication. ( k(x,y,z) = (kx,ky,kz) ? V when k is negative).                      V = { ( x, -x, 2x ) | x is a real number } is a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication and also contains the zero vector.               V = { (1,1,1) } is not a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is not closed under either vector addition or scalar multiplication and also does not contain the zero vector.                 V = { (x,y,3) | x,y are real numbers } is not a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is not closed under vector addition and also does not contain the zero vector.                            V = { (0,0,0) } is a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication and also contains the zero vector.                             V = { (x+1, y+1, z+1) | x,y,z are real numbers } is not a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is not closed under either vector addition or scalar multiplication and also does not contain the zero vector.                         V = { (x,y,0) | x,y are real numbers } is a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication and also contains the zero vector.                               { (x,y,z) | x + y + z = 1 } is not a subspace of R3, as V? R3, is not closed under either vector addition or scalar multiplication and also does not contain the zero vector.
