By using given information 

Definition 14.1: A vector space is a set V of objects, called vectors, on which two
operations called addition and scalar multiplication have been defined satisfying the
following properties. If u. v. w are in V and if a. ß ER are scalars:
(1) The sum u + v is in V. (closure under addition)
(2) u+v=v+u (addition is commutative)
(3) (u+v) +w=u+ (v+w) (addition is associativity)
(4) There is a vector in V called the zero vector, denoted by 0. satisfying v + 0 = v.
(5) For each v there is a vector -v in V such that v + (-v) = 0.

(6) The scalar multiple of v by a, denoted av, is in V. (closure under scalar multiplica-
tion)
(7) a(u+v) = au + av
(8) (a + 3)v=av + 3v
(9) a(sv) = (aß)v
(10) lv = v

Example 14.5. Let V = Pn[t] be the set of all polynomials in the variablet and of degree
at most n:
P₁[t] = {ao+at+ a₂t² +. + ant" | ao, a₁..., an ER
ER}.
Is V a vector space?
