To determine whether the set S of all upper triangular matrices is a subspace of the vector space V of all n-by-n matrices with real entries, we need to check if S satisfies the three conditions of being a subspace:
1. The zero vector of V is in S.
2. S is closed under vector addition.
3. S is closed under scalar multiplication.
Let's consider each of these conditions in turn:
1. The zero vector of V is the matrix of all zeros, which is clearly an upper triangular matrix. Therefore, the zero vector is in S.
2. To show that S is closed under vector addition, we need to show that if A and B are upper triangular matrices, then A + B is also an upper triangular matrix. This is true because the sum of two upper triangular matrices is also an upper triangular matrix. Therefore, S is closed under vector addition.
3. To show that S is closed under scalar multiplication, we need to show that if A is an upper triangular matrix and k is a scalar, then kA is also an upper triangular matrix. This is true because multiplying an upper triangular matrix by a scalar does not change its upper triangular structure. Therefore, S is closed under scalar multiplication.
Since S satisfies all three conditions of being a subspace, we can conclude that S is a subspace of the vector space V.
