Thread: [SOLVED] Linear Algebra Problem

Can someone help me how to prove that V= R² is not a vector space with respect to the operations:

(a, b) + (c, d) = (a, b) and k(a,b) = (ka, kb)


appreciate your help

thanks

Have you correctly copied this problem?
If you have, have you considered the commutive property of vector addition?
