Homework Statement
One of the fundamental axioms that must hold true for a set of elements to be considered a vector space is as follows:
1*x = x
I was given a particular space: The set of all polynomials of degree greater than or equal to three, and zero, and asked to evaluate whether or not it was a vector space or not. The one that doesn't hold true is 1*x=x (according to the solutions), but I don't understand why. I can't find a situation where the above axiom holds true. Could anyone help me out?
Thanks
