Where F is a field. Prove that (V, +) (OR) is an Abelin Group. Response: 1. Definition of Vector Space: A vector space, also known as a linear space, is a mathematical structure that consists of a set of elements called vectors and a field of scalars. The vectors can be added together and multiplied by scalars, following certain axioms. These axioms are: ● Closure under addition: If u and v are vectors in V, then their sum u + v is also in V. ● Associativity of addition: For any vectors u, v, and w in V, (u + v) + w = u + (v + w). ● Commutativity of addition: For any vectors u and v in V, u + v = v + u. ● Identity element of addition: There exists a vector 0 in V such that for any vector u in V, u + 0 = u. ● Inverse elements of addition: For every vector u in V, there exists a vector -u in V such that u + (-u) = 0. ● Closure under scalar multiplication: If u is a vector in V and a is a scalar in F, then their product au is also in V. ● Associativity of scalar multiplication: For any scalar a and b in F, and any vector u in V, (ab)u = a(bu). ● Distributivity of scalar multiplication over vector addition: For any scalar a in F, and any vectors u and v in V, a(u + v) = au + av. ● Distributivity of scalar multiplication over scalar addition: For any scalars a and b in F, and any vector u in V, (a + b)u = au + bu. ● Scalar multiplication identity: For any vector u in V, 1u = u, where 1 is the multiplicative identity in F. 2. Proving Properties of Scalar Multiplication: (a) 0v = 0: Let v be any vector in V. We want to show that 0v = 0. Consider the scalar multiplication identity: 1v = v. Multiply both sides by 0: 0(1v) = 0v. Using the associativity of scalar multiplication: (0 * 1)v = 0v. Since 0 * 1 = 0, we have: 0v = 0. (b) a0 = 0: Let a be any scalar in F. We want to show that a0 = 0. Consider the identity element of addition: 0 + 0 = 0. Multiply both sides by a: a(0 + 0) = a0. Using the distributivity of scalar multiplication over vector addition: a0 + a0 = a0. Subtract a0 from both sides: a0 = 0. 3. Definition of Subspace: A subspace of a vector space V is a subset W of V that satisfies the following conditions: ● Closure under addition: If u and v are vectors in W, then their sum u + v is also in W. ● Closure under scalar multiplication: If u is a vector in W and a is a scalar in F, then their product au is also in W. 4. Binary Composition Table for (25,0+) and (250): Note: I believe there might be a typo in the prompt. The notation (25,0+) and (250) doesn't seem to represent a clear mathematical operation or set. Please provide more context or clarify the notation if you have additional information. 5. Verifying Linear Combination: To verify if (17, -4, 2) is a linear combination of (2, 1, -3) and (1, -2, 4), we need to find scalars a and b such that: (17, -4, 2) = a(2, 1, -3) + b(1, -2, 4) This equation leads to the following system of linear equations: 2a + b = 17 a - 2b = -4 -3a + 4b = 2 Solving this system, we find that a = 5 and b = 7. Therefore, (17, -4, 2) is indeed a linear combination of (2, 1, -3) and (1, -2, 4). 6. Proving (V, +) is an Abelian Group: To prove that (V, +) is an Abelian Group, we need to show that it satisfies the following properties: ● Closure under addition: This is obvious from the definition of V. ● Associativity of addition: This follows from the associativity of addition in the field F. ● Commutativity of addition: This follows from the commutativity of addition in the field F. ● Identity element of addition: The vector (0, 0, ..., 0) serves as the identity element. ● Inverse elements of addition: For any vector (a1, a2, ..., an) in V, its inverse is (-a1, -a2, ..., -an). Since all these properties hold, (V, +) is an Abelian Group. ● https://www.numerade.com/ask/question/let-v-be-the-set-of-all-ordinary-subtraction-and-v ector-space-63423/
