what is a vector space?
a nonempty set of V objects, called vectors, on which are defined by two operations, called addition and multiplication by scalars, subject to the ten axioms. The axioms must hold for all vectors u, v, and w in V and for all scalars c and d

three properties
what are the properties to be a subspace of a vector space?
