QUESTION:
Show that if Si and S2 are arbitrary subsets of a vector space V, then span(S'iU5, 2) = span(5i)+span(S'2). (The sum of two subsets is defined in the exercises of Section 1.3.)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Let S1 and S2 are arbitrary subsets of a vector space V.
To prove that .
Let be an arbitrary element.
Then, there exist vectors and such that
Here, be arbitrary scalars.
Now, . Then for ,
(i)
Again , implies
(ii)
By definition of sum of two subsets,
It implies
Hence,
(iii)
