Subspace: Suppose that V is a vector space and W is a subset of V,WV. Give W the same capabilities as V. Then W is a subspace if and only if three conditions are met 
- W is non-empty, W
- If xW and yW, then x+yW
- If αR and xW, then αxW
The given statement is, Let W be a subset of the vector space V where u and v are vectors in W. If (u+v) belongs to W, then W is a subspace of V. Since the remaining two conditions are not satisfied, therefore the given statement is False.
