Hello...
I've been doing some home work on Vector Spaces and Vector Subspaces and I need help solving a problem... Can somebody please help me?
Consider the differential equation f'' + 5f' + 6f' = 0 Show that the set of all solutions of this equation is a vector subspace of the vector space of all continuours funtions with the usual operations
How I went about this question is considering the 3 for U to be a vector subspace of V
1. The zero vector has to be in U
2. if r and s are in U, then r+s lies in U
3. if r lies in U, then kr lies in U for all k in R
I know that the zero vector is in U since f'' + 5f' + 6f' = 0 (IT EQUALS 0) however, I don't know how to show the other 2 conitions. (conditions 2 and 3.)
Can somebody PLEASE help me.
Thank you
