If U and V are vector subspaces of W and if U union V is also a subspace of W, how would i show that either U or V is contained in the other?
A vector subspace is a subset of a vector space that satisfies all the properties of a vector space, such as closure under addition and scalar multiplication.
To determine if a set of vectors form a subspace, you must check if the set satisfies the three main properties of a vector subspace: closure under addition, closure under scalar multiplication, and contains the zero vector.
Yes, a vector subspace can contain only one vector, as long as that vector is the zero vector. This is because the zero vector is required to be in any vector subspace.
A vector subspace is a subset of a vector space that satisfies all the properties of a vector space, while a vector space is a set of vectors that also satisfies those properties. In other words, a vector subspace is a smaller version of a vector space.
No, a vector subspace cannot have a dimension greater than the original vector space. The dimension of a subspace must be less than or equal to the dimension of the original vector space, as the subspace is a subset of the vector space.
