Let X abc and Y def be 2 arbitrary vectors in W and let k be an arbitrary scalar 1 We have a 3b and d 3e so that XY 3bbc3eef 3bebecf This implies that XY W so that W is closed under vector addition Also kX k 3bbc 3kbkbkc This implies that kX W so that W is closed under scalar multiplication Further since 30 0 hence the zero vector000 W Therefore W is a    See Answer
