What is the first criterion for subspaces?
The additive identity: 0 ∈ U
I don't think so
I don't know how I would have to prove this
aT * x is basically another way to describe the dot product
if x is the nullvector
can there ever come out something that is not 0?
No, it can't
yes that is it
so you see
the nullvector doesnt satisfy the condition
a^T * x = 1
Okay, I get it, but I'd like to show it also for closed under addition and closed under scalar multiplication
that is enough
that is probably for V1 which is probably a subspace
This might be true, but I'm supposed to show it
Okay, but how would I normally show that? I want to learn and expand my knowledge after all
like
you could
it could be that V2 satisifes closed under addition and scalar multiplication
then what??
like do you see
that it doesnt matter
and it doesnt make sense to continue when the first criterion already failed
It does not matter to verfiy that U is a subspace of V, but I want to know the way to show it though. Imagine for another exercise!
Well you define two elements of the subspace
Say a,b is from the subspace V
then you wanna check
if a+b satisfies the condition of the subspace of V
that's it
How would you do it for V2?
a^T(u + v) = a^T * u + a^T * v = ?
This would equal 2, right?
yea
so that also fails
see
but even if it wouldnt fail
it still wouldnt be a subspace
What if a^Tx = 0.5 and a^Ty = 0.5?
Now for scalar multiplication, I'd go with:
,, \lambda (\vec{a}^T\vec{x}) = 1
But you just said that lambda = 1, which is right?
yes
so it doesnt hold
we want to use any scalar and be able to stay in our subspace
What you mean is that for lambda = 1, it is right. However, lambda does not equal 1 in this case?
for the equation to be satisfied lamba must be 1
however
lambda can be any real value besides 1
like for lambda 2 it doesnt hold anymore
so scalar multiplication is not closed
So there is nothing that guarantees that lambda could be something else besides 1?
It's the 3rd criterion that we assume lambda from R
close scalar multiplication means to use any scalar lambda
and still remain within that subspace
