Okay, so in this question we're given this subspace s of r3, which contains all the vectors with all the coordinates being positive.
00:08
And we're asked to determine if it's a subspace, true or false for the first one.
00:12
And we know that it's going to be a subspace if 2, 3 and 4 are all true.
00:18
So let's start with analyzing each of these.
00:21
So close under multiplication by a scalar.
00:24
If i'm given a vector with all positive entries, can i multiply it for any number and get a vector? vector also with positive entries, of course it is not necessarily true.
00:33
If i take, for example, the vector 1 -1 -1, which is a vector of s, and i take my scalar number to be, for example, minus 1, then minus 1 times 1 -1 -1 will be the vector minus 1, minus 1, which is not in s, right? so this is close in the multiplication by positive numbers, but not by multiplication in negative numbers.
00:58
So for the second statement, this is going to be false.
01:01
And if number two is false, then number one is also false, right? it's not a subspace.
01:06
It is a subset of r3, but it's not a subspace because it's not closed under multiplication.
01:12
And let's check the others...
