Jiwen he, university of houston math 2331, linear algebra 18 21.
So if you take any vector in the space, and add its negative, its sum is the zero vector, which is then by definition in the subspace. It is precisely the subspace of k n spanned by the column vectors of a. I know that a subspace is created from the subset of a vector space and also defined by 3 properties contain 0 vector, closed addition, closed multiplication by scalar. Any linearly independent set in h can be expanded, if necessary, to a basis for h. In this case, if you add two vectors in the space, its sum must be in it. In this course you will be expected to learn several things about vector spaces of course. Then we must check that the axioms a1a10 are satis. Nov 09, 2016 a subspace spanned by a set the set consisting of only the zero vector in a vector space v is a subspace of v, called the zero subspace and written as 0.
