**Problem 5.**

Let \( V = \mathbb{R}^+ = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} : x > 0 \} \). Define an addition \( \oplus \) and scalar multiplication \( \otimes \) on \( V \) as follows:

1. For \( x, y \in V \), \( x \oplus y = xy \), and
2. For \( a \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( x \in V \), \( a \otimes x = x^a \).

Show that \( V \) is a vector space under the operations \( \oplus \) and \( \otimes \).
