 SUBSPACE
It is a vector space that is
contained within another
vector spaces.
 V A subspace H of a
vector space V is
called a subspace
H of V if H is itself a
vector space
under the
inherited
operations
Subspace
 Properties of a Subspace

• The zero vector of V is in H.

 Properties of a Subspace

• For each u and v are in H, u

+ v is in H.
 Properties of a Subspace

• For each u in H and each

scalar c, cu is in H.
Is 0 a subspace of Rn?
Let v1, v2 ϵ V. Show H= span {v1, v2} is
a subspace of V
Theorem: If v1, …, vp ϵ V, then
H= span {v1, …, vp} is a
subspace of V.
 
Let W be the set of all vectors of the
form . Show W is a subspace.
 
Is S = a subspace of R2?
