Subspace of a vector space problem












2












$begingroup$


So the task says:



for $alpha_1ldots,alpha_n, betain mathbb R$, we define
$U = {(x_1ldots,x_n) ∈ mathbb{R}^n ,|, sum_{i=1}^n alpha_ix_i = beta}$.
When is the $U$ subspace?



I know that if subspace is a subspace only if $x,y∈ U$ and $A,C ∈ mathbb R$ this is true:



$Ax + Cy ∈ U$,



I could not find the answer so i checked the answer.



enter image description here



I understand everything in explanation except the last part where it says that B needs to be 0 can someone explain to me why $beta$ needs to be 0.



Thank you!

    Well if $B$ is not zero then 0 is not in the subspace.

Because if $betaneq0$, then you take, say, $lambda=mu=1$, and then it will be false that $lambdabeta+mubeta=beta$, since then this would mean that $2beta=beta$.

    If $mu=lambda=frac12$, you deduce nothing. But the proof says that for all real $mu$ and $lambda$ we have $mubeta+lambdabeta=beta$. So, I used $mu=lambda=1$ to reach a contradiction. That's all.

Notice that $sum_1^na_ix_i$ is merely the dot product of $mathbf x=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)in U$ with the vector $mathbf a=(a_1,a_2,...,a_n)$. Given that vector $mathbf xin Uleftrightarrowmathbf xcdotmathbf a=B$. Now, $mathbf x,mathbf yin Uimpliesmathbf x+mathbf yin Uimplies(mathbf x+mathbf y)cdot mathbf a=mathbf{xcdot a}+mathbf{ycdot a}=B+B=B$, that implies $B=0$.
