Set of vectors form a vector space

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the closure property of vector addition within a specific set of vectors. The vectors are represented as v_1 = \begin{bmatrix}x_1\\y_1\\5z_1\end{bmatrix} and v_2 = \begin{bmatrix}x_2\\y_2\\5z_2\end{bmatrix}. The addition of these vectors results in v_1 \oplus v_2 = \begin{bmatrix}x_1+x_2\\y_1+y_2\\5z_1+5z_2\end{bmatrix}, which simplifies to \begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\10Z\end{bmatrix}. However, when considering vectors without the z-component, such as \begin{bmatrix}x_1\\y_1\\5\end{bmatrix} and \begin{bmatrix}x_2\\y_2\\5\end{bmatrix}, the result \begin{bmatrix}x_1+x_2\\y_1+y_2\\10\end{bmatrix} does not belong to the original set, demonstrating that addition is not closed in this context.

View attachment 8769this is what is given
so by addition
$$\begin{bmatrix}x_1\\y_1\\5z_1\end{bmatrix}
\oplus
\begin{bmatrix} x_2\\y_2\\5z_2
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
x_1+x_2\\y_1+y_2\\5z_1+5z_2
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
X\\Y\\10Z
\end{bmatrix}$$

uhmmmm really?

This time there are no z's. Or z = 5 in all cases, if you prefer to look at it that way.
[math]\left [ \begin{matrix} x_1 \\ y_1 \\ 5 \end{matrix} \right ] \oplus \left [ \begin{matrix} x_2 \\ y_2 \\ 5 \end{matrix} \right ] = \left [ \begin{matrix} x_1 + x_2 \\ y_1 + y_2 \\ 5 + 5 \end{matrix} \right ] \notin \left [ \begin{matrix} X \\ Y \\ 5 \end{matrix} \right ] [/math]

so addition is not closed this time.
