Question2. Determine whether the following sets V1V_{1} and V2V_{2} correspond to vector spaces by verifying the 10 axioms. b) Let V2=R+V_{2}=\mathbb{R}^{+}and define addition and scaler multiplication as follows: If a=a\vec{a}=a and b=b\vec{b}=b (for a,bR+a, b \in \mathbb{R}^{+}) then define ab=ab\vec{a} \oplus \vec{b}=a \cdot b
And if cRc \in \mathbb{R}, then define ca=ac.c \odot \vec{a}=a^{c} .

Studdy Solution
Verify the existence of additive inverses: For each aV2 \vec{a} \in V_{2} , find bV2 \vec{b} \in V_{2} such that ab=0 \vec{a} \oplus \vec{b} = \vec{0} .
Since there is no additive identity, additive inverses cannot exist.
Since steps 5 and 6 fail, V2 V_{2} does not satisfy all the axioms of a vector space.
