Let W be the union of the first and third quadrants in the xy -plane. That is, let W = { [ x y ] ; x y ≥ 0 } . a. If u is in W and c is any scalar, is c u in W ? Why? b. Find specific vectors u and v in W such that u + v is not in W . This is enough to show that W is not a vector space.

Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
