Complete the following questions. (a) Which two conditions need to be satisfied for a set of vectors in a vector space to form a subspace. (b) According to part (a), determine whether all sequences ū in Roo of the form ū = (v,1,0,1,0,1,...) form a subspace.

Answer:

(a) Let [tex]U\subset V[/tex] be a subset of a vector space [tex]V[/tex]. [tex]U[/tex] is a subspace of [tex]V[/tex] if and only if the following two conditions hold:

i) [tex]U[/tex] is closed under the sum operation. That is to say, [tex]u_{1}+u_{2}\in U[/tex] whenever [tex]u_{1},u_{2}[/tex] are elements of [tex]U[/tex].

ii) [tex]U[/tex] is closed under the scalar multiplication. That is to say, [tex]\lambda u\in U[/tex] whenever [tex]u\in U[/tex] and [tex]\lambda \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the part (b) we have the set of all sequences of the form[tex]\bar{u}=(v,1,0,1,0,1,...)[/tex], where [tex]v\in \mathbb{R}[/tex]. Observe the if you multiply any sequence of this form by and scalar [tex]\lambda\neq 1[/tex] then the sequence stops being like the given form. For example, let [tex]\lambda=5[/tex]. Then:

[tex]5 \bar{u}=(5v,5,0,5,0,5,...)[/tex]

This implies that the set under consideration is not closet under scalar multiplication, which implies that the set is not a subspace of the vector space of all sequences.
