Question

Let z be a fixed element of $\mathbb{R}^n$. For arbitrary elements $x, y \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and arbitrary scalar $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, define vector addition and scalar multiplication, denoted by $\oplus$ and $\otimes$ respectively, as follows: $x \oplus y = x + y - z$, and $\alpha \otimes x = \alpha(x - z) + z$. Show that $ (\mathbb{R}^n, \oplus, \otimes)$ is a vector space.

Let z be a fixed element of ℝ^n. For arbitrary elements x, y ∈ℝ^n and arbitrary scalar α∈ℝ, define vector addition and scalar multiplication, denoted by ⊕ and ⊗ respectively, as follows:

x ⊕ y = x + y - z, and α⊗ x = α(x - z) + z.

Step 1

**Closure under addition:** For any x, y ∈ Rn, x ⊕ y ∈ Rn. 2. **Commutativity of addition:** For any x, y ∈ Rn, x ⊕ y = y ⊕ x. 3. **Associativity of addition:** For any x, y, z ∈ Rn, (x ⊕ y) ⊕ z = x ⊕ (y ⊕ z). 4. Show more…

Let z be a fixed element of Rn. For arbitrary elements x, y ∈ Rn and arbitrary scalar a ∈ R, define vector addition and scalar multiplication, denoted by ⊕ and ⊗ respectively, as follows: x ⊕ y = x + y - z, and a ⊗ x = a(x - z) + z. Show that (Rn, ⊕, ⊗) is a vector space.
