Q9E
Expert-verifiedWhich of the subsets of given in Exercise through 11 are subspaces of . The role="math" localid="1659358236480" matrices whose entries are all greater than or equal to zero.
The matrices whose entries are all greater than or equal to zero of is not a subspace of .
A subset W of a linear space V is called a subspace of V if
(a) W contains the neutral element 0 of V.
(b) W is closed under addition (if f and g are in W then so is f+g)
(c) W is closed under scalar multiplication (if f is in W and k is scalar, then kf is in W ).
we can summarize parts b and c by saying that W is closed under linear combinations.
Consider two matrices with entries positive or zero. Let,
Find.
Thus, it is closed under addition.
Multiply the matrix by any scalar,
As there are negative entries with multiplied with a scalar, this matrix is not closed under scalar multiplication.
Hence, a matrix with entries greater than or equal to zero is not a subspace of .
