Theorem 8

If S is a non−empty subset of a vector space V then the set W consisting of all linear combinations of elements of S is a subpsace of V. (ie) (W=L(S)  V and subspace)

Proof:

Given:

V is a vector space over F.

S is a non−empty subset of V.

W = all linear combination of elements of S.

W = L(S)

To prove W is a subspace of V.

 S≠ϕ; Let xS, then 0 = 0.x W

 0 W

Let x, y W x+y and cx are also linear combination of elements of S.

  x + y W and cx W.

  W is a subspace of V.

(ie) If x, y W then x, y are linear combinations of elements of S. So there exists elements u1, u2, …. un and w1, w2 ...wm in S, such that x=a1u1+ a2u2 + ... + anun, and y=b1w1 + b2w2+ … + bmwm for some choice of scalars a1, a2, ... an and b1, b2, ... bm.

Now

 x+y = a1u1 + a2u2 + …. +anun + b1w1 + b2w2+ … +bmwm

and cx = (ca1)u1 + (ca2)u2 + …. +(can)un are linear combinations of elements of S.

  W is a subspace of V.

Note

L(S) is the smallest subspace of V containing S. In other words if W is a subspace of V there exists SW then L (s)  W.

  Any subspace of V that contains S must also contains L (S).
