1. Show that the set of all real valued continuous functions defined in the open interval (0, 1) is a
vector space over the field of real numbers, with respect to the operations of vector addition and
scalar multiplication defined as
( f + g ) ( x) =f ( x) + g ( x)
α f ) ( x) α f ( x), α ∈ R
(= and 0 < x < 1.
2. Suppose 𝑉𝑉 = {𝑥𝑥 |𝑥𝑥 ∈ ℝ, 𝑥𝑥 > 0}. Define vector addition and scalar multiplication as follows:
Vector addition: for 𝑥𝑥 ∈ 𝑉𝑉, 𝑦𝑦 ∈ 𝑉𝑉, define 𝑥𝑥⨁𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥
Scalar multiplication: for 𝑟𝑟 ∈ ℝ, 𝑥𝑥 ∈ 𝑉𝑉, define 𝑟𝑟⨀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥𝑥 𝑟𝑟
Show that V (⊕, ) is a vector space over the field of real numbers.
3. Let 𝑊𝑊 be the union of the first and third quadrants in the 𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥-plane. That is, let
𝑥𝑥
𝑊𝑊 = ��𝑦𝑦� : 𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥 ≥ 0�.
