Some Sets that do not Form Vector Spaces
To show that a set is not a vector space, you need only find ONE axiom that is not
satisfied.

𝑆 = {𝑥; 𝑥 ∈ 𝑍}

𝑆 is not closed under scalar multiplication, as for any real number 𝑐 , 𝑐𝑥 is a real

number ՜ 𝑐𝑥 ∉ 𝑆.
Some Sets that do not Form Vector Spaces

𝑐 𝑥, 𝑦 = (𝑐𝑥, 0)

𝑉 = {(𝑥, 𝑦); 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅}

• Check the scalar identity axiom

1 𝑥, 𝑦 = (𝑥, 0) ≠ (𝑥, 𝑦)

• Check the additive inverse axiom

𝑥, 𝑦 + − 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑥, 𝑦 + −𝑥, 0 = (0, 𝑦) ≠ (0,0)


𝑉 is not a vector space.

Vector Spaces
Rather than the standard definition of addition and scalar multiplication in 𝑹𝟑 , suppose
these two operations are defined as follows:

It violates the scalar identity axiom.


(1) 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 = 𝑥, 𝑦, 0 ≠ (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)

It violates the additive identity axiom.


𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 + 0,0,0 = (0,0,0) ≠ (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)

There are important vector spaces in 𝑹𝒏 . Subspaces of 𝑹𝒏

Subspaces of 𝑹𝟑
• This plane is a vector space in its own right.

• If we add two vectors in the plane their sum is


in the plane.

• If we multiply an in-plane vector by 2 or −5, it


is still in the plane.

• This plane is a vector space inside 𝑹𝟑 .

• The plane passing through (0,0,0) is a


subspace of the full vector space 𝑹𝟑 .
