Q1.Let V be the set of all ordered triples of real numbers of the form (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)with the
operations of “+” and “.”
(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) + (𝑥′, 𝑦′, 𝑧′) = (𝑥𝑥′, 𝑦𝑦′, 𝑧𝑧′)
𝑘 (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = (𝑘𝑥, 𝑘𝑦, 𝑘𝑧)
Prove or disprove that V is a vector space
.
Q2 Let V be the set of all positive real numbers: define + by
u+v=uv – 1 and . by α.v= v. ls V a vector space?
