VECTOR SPACES Definition: A set V is called a vector space over the real numbers provided that there are two operationsaddition, denoted by + , and scalar multiplication, denoted by - that satisfy all the following axioms. The axioms must hold for all vectors u, v, w in V and all scalars c and d R. Vector addition: This assigns to any u, v V a sum u + v in V Scalar multiplication: This assign to any u V, k K, a product ku V. These are the 10 axioms in Vector Space: 1. u + v V ( V is closed under addition) 2. u + v = v + u (commutative law) 3. (u + v ) + w = u (v + w) (associative law) 4. There exists a vector Ov, V where u + Ov = u = Ov + u, all elements in u ( the existing of a zero vector) 5. For each vector u V, there exists a vector u V where u + (-u) = Ov. (existing inverse of addition or a negative vector). 6. c u V (V is closed under multiplication) 7. c (u +v) = cu + cv (left distributive law) 8. (c + d) u= cu + du 9. c(du) = (cd)u 10. I u = u In this section, we use the special symbols + and of the previous definition to distinguish vector addition and scalar multiplication from ordinary addition and multiplication of real numbers (R).
Euclidean Vector Spaces The set V = R with the standard operations of addition and scalar multiplication is a vector space.
Vector Spaces of Matrices Show that the set V = M mxn of all m x n matrices is a vector space over the scalar field R, with + and defined componentwise. Since addition of matrices is componentwise, the sum of two m x n matrices is another m x n matrix as is a scalar times an m x n matrix. Thus, the closure axioms (axioms 1 and 6) are satisfied.

associative. i. To show whether + is commutative. A+B=B+A A + B = 3A + 3B = 3 (A + B) = 3 (B + A) =B+A This operation is commutative. commutative
RHS A + (B + C) = A + (3B + 3C) = 3A + 3(3B + 3C) = 3A + 9B + 9C This operation is not associative. Thus, V is not a vector spaces.
LHS
(1 + 2) + 3 = [3(1) + 3(2)] + 3 = (3 + 6) + 3

3. Show that the operation is a vector space or not. i) To show whether + is a commutative A+B=B+A A + B = 5A + 5B = 5(A + B) = 5(B + A) =B+A Therefore, the operation is commutative commutative
ii)
LHS : (A + B) + C = (5A + 5B) + C = 5 (5A + 5B) + 5C = 25A + 25B + 5C RHS : A + (B + C) = A + (5B + 5C) = 5A + 5(5B + 5C)
Counter example: Let A = 3, B = 6, C = 9 LHS : (3 + 6) + 9 = [5(3) + 5(6)] + 9 = [15 + 30] + 9 = 45 + 9 = 5(45) + 5(9) = 270 RHS : 3 + (6 + 9) = 3 + [5(6) + 5(9)] = 3 + [30 + 45] = 3 + 75 = 5(3) + 5(75) = 390 LHS RHS Thus, it is not a vector space.
