Solution.

A subset S is a subspace of V if αx+βyS for all x, yS and α,βR

A) Not a subspace

p(x)=x2+5, g(x)=x25

p(1)=6, p(0)=5 and p(1)>p(0)

q(1)=4, q(0)=5 and q(1)>q(0)

p(x),q(x)S

Consider R(x)=p(x)2q(x)

R(1)=p(1)2q(1)=6+8=24

R(0)=p(0)2q(0)=5+10=25

Here R(1)<R(0)

R(x)≠∈S

S is not a subspace

B) Not a subspace

(1,1,0)S as (1)(1)6+0=1+6=5

Consider 1(1,1,0)=(1,1,0)

16+0=55

(1,1,0)≠∈S

S is not subspace

C) Subspace

Let x,yS then Ax=0 and Ay=0

A(αx+βy)=αAx+βAy

=α(0)+β(0)

=0

αx+βyS

S is a subspace

D) Subspace

Let x,yS then x4x+3x=0

and y4y+3y=0

Consider αx+βy

(αx+βy)4(αx+βy)+3(αx+βy)

=αx+βy4αx4βy+3αx+3βy

=α(x4x+3x)+β(y4y+3y)

=α(0)+β(0)

=0

αx+βyS

S is a subspace

E) Not a subspace

Let f,gS then f(a)=5 and g(a)=5

αf(a)+βg(a)=5α+5β

Let α=1 and β=1

αf(a)+βg(a)=55=0

αf(a)+Bg(a)≠∈S

S is not a subspace

F) Subspace

Let p,g≠∈S then p(0)=0 and g(0)=0

Consider αp+βg

αp(0)+βq
