Understanding Subsets and Subspaces in Vector Spaces

The video tutorial explores whether a subset S of vectors in R3, where the third component is always one, is a subspace. It examines the subset's closure under vector addition and scalar multiplication, and checks for the presence of the zero vector. The subset fails all tests, indicating it is not a subspace of R3.

What is the defining characteristic of the vectors in the set S?

• They are all unit vectors.

• Their second component is zero.

• Their third component is one.

• Their first component is zero.

What is the main goal when analyzing the subset S?

• To determine if S is a vector space.

• To find the dimension of S.

• To determine if S is a subspace of R3.

• To calculate the magnitude of vectors in S.

Why is the subset S not closed under vector addition?

• The sum of two vectors in S is not defined.

• The sum of two vectors in S is always zero.

• The sum of two vectors in S has a third component that is not one.

• The sum of two vectors in S is not in R3.

What happens to the third component when two vectors in S are added?

• It becomes negative.

• It becomes zero.

• It remains one.

• It becomes two.

What is the result of scalar multiplication on a vector in S when the scalar is not one?

• The vector remains in S.

• The vector becomes a unit vector.

• The vector is no longer in S.

• The vector becomes the zero vector.

Under what condition does scalar multiplication keep a vector in S?

• When the scalar is negative.

• When the scalar is zero.

• When the scalar is a fraction.

• When the scalar is one.

Why is the zero vector not part of the subset S?

• Because its third component is not one.

• Because its first component is not one.

• Because it is not in R3.

• Because its second component is not one.

What is the zero vector in R3?

• 0, 0, 0

• 0, 0, 1

• 1, 0, 0

• 0, 1, 0

Which of the following is a requirement for a subset to be a subspace?

• It must contain only positive vectors.

• It must have a dimension of three.

• It must contain only unit vectors.

• It must be closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication.

What is the conclusion about the subset S in relation to being a subspace?

• S is a subspace of R3.

• S is not a subspace of R3.

• S is a linearly independent set.

• S is a vector space.
