1. Introduction
1.1. Which of the following best defines a vector space?
A) A set with addition and multiplication operations.
B) A collection of vectors where vector addition and scalar multiplication are defined and satisfy eight axioms.
C) A space where vectors can only be added.
D) A system where scalars can only be multiplied.
Answer: B
Explanation: A vector space is defined as a collection of vectors where both vector addition and scalar
multiplication are defined and satisfy eight specific axioms (closure, associativity, commutativity, etc.).
1.2. Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a set to be a vector space?
A) Closure under vector addition.
B) Existence of a multiplicative inverse for scalars.
C) Existence of a zero vector.
D) Distributivity of scalar multiplication over vector addition.
Answer: B
Explanation: The existence of a multiplicative inverse for scalars is not required for a set to be a vector space.
Vector spaces require closure under addition and scalar multiplication, existence of a zero vector, and
distributivity properties, among other axioms.
