Sure enough, that is a number, that is a number, third element is still 0, so that is also in 2. I want closure with just respect to that subset. I might end up in the overall vector space, but the idea is I am talking about a subset. if I add them and I end up outside of that set, that cannot be so. If I take two elements, let us say (a,b,0), and another (a,b,0). if this is the bigger set and if I take a little subset of it, when I am checking closure now, I am checking to see that it stays in here, not just that it stays here. Now, notice, when we say closure with respect to the subset, that means when I start with something in that subset, I need to end up in that subset. Well, yes, that is a number, that is a number, that is a number, this is a three vector. So, with respect to the addition, well, let us see, we will let a1 equal. Now, let us check to see if it is actually a subspace. That is clearly a subset obviously this is just the z component is 0, so it is clearly a subset. In other words, I am just looking at the xy plane, if you will. In other words, I am dealing with all 3 vectors, and I am going to take as a subset of that everything where the z, where the z component is 0. We will let v = R3, so now we are talking about 3-space, and w be the subset all vectors of the form (a,b,0). They do not come up too often, but we do need to mention them to be complete. Again, we call these the trivial examples. 0206Īnd v itself, a set is a subset of itself. It is non-empty, and it actually satisfies the property, because 0 + 0 is 0, c × 0 is 0, so the closure properties are satisfied, and in fact all of the other properties are satisfied. So, the 0 vector itself, that element alone is a subspace. So, we will start off with the first basic example, the trivial example, which is probably not even worth mentioning, but it is okay. A subspace has very, very specific properties. 0153Īgain, subset, that goes without saying, but a subset is not necessarily a subspace. then I can say that w is an actual subspace of that vector space. if the w, if that subset itself is a vector space in its own right, with respect to those two operations. In other words, if I am given a particular vector space, and I am given a particular subset of that vector space. If w is a vector space with respect to the same operations as v, then w is a subspace of v. It might seem obvious, but we do have to specify it.
Specify one quality of that subset is very important. okay? And w a subset, so we have not said anything about a subspace yet. So, we will define a subspace, and we will look at some examples. So, a subspace, again, has a very, very clear sort of definition, and that is what we are going to start with first. well, all subspaces are subsets, but not all subsets are subspaces. We will see subsets that are not subspaces, and we will see subspaces. We will see what that means, exactly, in a minute. Now, it is very, very important that we differentiate between the notion of a subset and a subspace. Today, we are going to delve a little bit deeper into the structure of a vector space, and we are going to talk about something called a subspace. We gave the definition of a vector space and we gave some examples of a vector space.
The last lesson, we talked about a vector space. Welcome back to and welcome back to linear algebra. Kernel and Range of a Linear Map, Part II Linear Algebra Online Course Section 1: Linear Equations and Matrices Please let me know if it did not, and I will prepare a short document for you with other examples and upload it to my "Linear Algebra for " Group page on Facebook: When we added we got (m, M-4) - we landed outside of the set - therefore NOT closed under addition.therefore, NOT a Subspace. Now we have (M,M-4).ĭoes this last vector look like it belongs to the original set? NO - because any vector in the original set has to be of the form (P, P-2). The question is: Is this result vector in the original set? The first component is a+b. Our set is given, and the two elements are the vectors (a, a-2) & (b,b-2). Now let's take the odd numbers: if I add any two odd numbers, I get an even number - the result of the addition lands me outside the set of add numbers - so the odd numbers are NOT closed under addition. For example, the set of even numbers: if I take any two even numbers and add them, the result is always an even number - so the even numbers are closed under addition. When a set is closed under addition, this means that if I take two elements from that set and add them, the result is yet another element in that set. \end.Post by Professor Hovasapian on March 23, 2013 For each set, give a reason why it is not a subspace.
