### The Axioms for a Vector Space

The axioms for a vector space \( V \) can be used to prove the elementary properties for a vector space. Because of Axiom 2, Axioms 2 and 4 imply, respectively, that \( 0 + u = u \) and \( -u + u = 0 \) for all \( u \). Complete the proof that \( -u \) is unique by showing that if \( u + w = 0 \), then \( w = -u \). Use the ten axioms of a vector space to justify each step.

#### Axioms

In the following axioms, \( u \), \( v \), and \( w \) are in vector space \( V \) and \( c \) and \( d \) are scalars.

1. The sum \( u + v \) is in \( V \).
2. \( u + v = v + u \)
3. \( (u + v) + w = u + (v + w) \)
4. \( V \) has a vector \( 0 \) such that \( u + 0 = u \).
5. For each \( u \) in \( V \), there is a vector \( -u \) in \( V \) such that \( u + (-1)u = 0 \).
6. The scalar multiple \( cu \) is in \( V \).
7. \( (c + v)u = cu + cv \)
8. \( (c + d)u = cu + du \)
9. \( c(du) = (cd)u \)
10. \( 1u = u \)

#### Proof That \( -u \) is Unique

Suppose that \( w \) satisfies \( u + w = 0 \). Adding \( -u \) to both sides results in the following:

\[ 
(-u) + [u + w] = (-u) + 0 
\]

Breaking down the steps further:

\[ 
[(-u) + u] + w = (-u) + 0 
\]

By Axiom 2 (commutativity of addition), we can see:

\[ 
0 + w = (-u) + 0 
\]

Using Axiom 4 (existence of additive identity), we verify:

\[ 
w = -u 
\]
