Q. Show that H=(x,y,z)R3x+2y=0 \mathrm{H}=(x, y, z) \in \mathbb{R}^{3} \mid x+2 y=0 is a subspace of R3 \mathbb{R}^{3} .
  1. Check zero vector: To determine if HH is a subspace of R3\mathbb{R}^3, we need to check if it satisfies three properties: it must contain the zero vector, it must be closed under vector addition, and it must be closed under scalar multiplication.
  2. Verify vector addition closure: First, we check if HH contains the zero vector. The zero vector in R3\mathbb{R}^3 is (0,0,0)(0,0,0). If we substitute x=0x=0 and y=0y=0 into the equation x+2y=0x+2y=0, we get 0+2(0)=00+2(0)=0, which is true.
  3. Confirm scalar multiplication closure: Second, we check if HH is closed under vector addition. Take any two vectors (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1) and (x2,y2,z2)(x_2,y_2,z_2) in HH. According to the definition of HH, we have x1+2y1=0x_1+2y_1=0 and x2+2y2=0x_2+2y_2=0. We need to check if their sum (x1+x2,y1+y2,z1+z2)(x_1+x_2, y_1+y_2, z_1+z_2) is also in HH. We calculate (x1+x2)+2(y1+y2)=(x1+2y1)+(x2+2y2)=0+0=0(x_1+x_2)+2(y_1+y_2) = (x_1+2y_1)+(x_2+2y_2) = 0+0 = 0, which means the sum is also in HH.
  4. Confirm scalar multiplication closure: Second, we check if HH is closed under vector addition. Take any two vectors (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1) and (x2,y2,z2)(x_2,y_2,z_2) in HH. According to the definition of HH, we have x1+2y1=0x_1+2y_1=0 and x2+2y2=0x_2+2y_2=0. We need to check if their sum (x1+x2,y1+y2,z1+z2)(x_1+x_2, y_1+y_2, z_1+z_2) is also in HH. We calculate (x1+x2)+2(y1+y2)=(x1+2y1)+(x2+2y2)=0+0=0(x_1+x_2)+2(y_1+y_2) = (x_1+2y_1)+(x_2+2y_2) = 0+0 = 0, which means the sum is also in HH.Third, we check if HH is closed under scalar multiplication. Take any vector (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1)22 in HH and any scalar (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1)44. According to the definition of HH, we have (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1)66. We need to check if (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1)77 is also in HH. We calculate (x1,y1,z1)(x_1,y_1,z_1)99, which means the scalar multiple is also in HH.
