Definition

A subspace of a vector space VV is a subset UāŠ‚VU\subset V that, together with the addition and scalar multiplication on VV, is itself a vector space. ## Remark If U1,U2āŠ‚VU_1,U_2\subset V are subspaces, then 0∈U10\in U_1 and 0∈U20\in U_2. If u1∈U1u_1\in U_1 and u2∈U2u_2\in U_2 then u1+0=u1∈U1+U2u_1+0=u_1\in U_1+U_2 and the same for u2∈U2u_2\in U_2. Therefore, the union of U1U_1 and U2U_2 is also contained in U1+U2U_1+U_2. In fact, U1+U2U_1+U_2 is the smallest subspace containing U1∪U2U_1\cup U_2
