Let V be the set of all positive real numbers. Determine whether V is a vector space with the following operation
x + y = xy
Cx = x
Addition
Scalar multiplication
If it is, then verify each vector space axiom; if it is not, then state all vector space axioms that fail.
STEP 1:Check each of the 10 axioms.
(1) u + v is in V.
O This axiom holds.
O This axiom fails.
(2) u + v = v + u
O This axiom holds.
O This axiom fails.
(3) u + (v + w) = (u + v) + w
O This axiom holds.
O This axiom fails.
(4) V has a zero vector 0 such that for every u in V, u + 0 = u.
O This axiom holds.
O This axiom fails.
(5) For every u in V, there is a vector in V denoted by -u such that u + (-u) = 0.
O This axiom holds.
O This axiom fails.
(6) cu is in V.
O This axiom holds.
O This axiom fails.
(7) c(u + v) = cu + cv
O This axiom holds.
