1. Let R+ be the set of all positive real numbers. Define the operations of addition
and scalar multiplication as follows

u + v = u · v, ∀u, v ∈ R+

αu = uα , ∀u ∈ R+ & α ∈ R

Show that R+ is a real vector space.

2. If V is a vector space, then prove that

(a) 0 · u = 0, ∀u ∈ V

(b) (−1)u = −u, ∀u ∈ V

3. Check the given sets form a vector space or not

(a) V = {(x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 ), xi ∈ R | x1 = 1}

(b) V = {(x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 ), xi ∈ R | x1 = 0}

4. Prove that

(a) If U and W are subspaces of V , then U ∩ W is also a subspace of V .

(b) Union of two subspaces need not be a subspace.

5. Which of the following sets are subspaces of R3

√ √
(a) S = {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) | 2x1 = 3x2 }

(b) S = {(x1 , x2 , x3 ) | x2 is an integer}
