I'm studying for my exam on monday and i saw ap roblme that says:
Determine if the following is a subspace of R^3.
For it to be a subspace it has to pass
1) must have the zero vector
2) closure under addition
3) closure under multiplaication
here is my work:

now it fails because it r1+r1-2 right? but why? because why wouldn't
3(s1+s2) also fail? because ur getting a different number if u like say, let s1 and s2 be 1, or r1 and 2 be 1, so did they both fail? Also if there was say
What if there were only 2 variables, only r and s, and U = [r s r], r & s are in R, now would this automaticallya not be a subpsace in R^3?
