From my linear algebra course practice problems: "Is the subset of polynomials for which p(-1) = p(0) = p(5) a subspace of the vector space of all polynomials? Justify your reasoning." I'm aware of the 3 criteria needed to be met for a subset to be considered a subspace, but I just have no idea how to approach determining whether the zero vector is in the subset, and whether addition and multiplication are closed to the set.
