Expert Solution

Step 1
A subset of vector space over the scalar field is a subspace of if and only if following three criteria are met.
- contains the zero vector of .
- If , then . then is closed under addition.
- If then then is closed under scalar multiplication.
Given vector space is , here the scalar field is .
Let us define
