Ejercicio 1. (Non-zero numbers) Let S be the set of strictly postive real numbers. We define addition and
multiplication by scalare on S as follows:

If x and y are two elements of S, the sum of x and y in S is defined to be xy.

If x is an element of S and if a is a real number, the multiplication of x by the scalare a is defined to be xa.

Is S with the structure defined above is a vector space over R?

No. Addition is not well defined

No. Certain elements do not have negatives
No. Element 0 does not exist
No. Multiplication by scalar is not associative
No. Multiplication by scalar is not well defined
Yes. It is really a vector space
