Let P(R) denote the family of all polynomials (in a single variable x) with real coefficients. We have seen that with the operations of pointwise addition and multiplication by scalars, P(R) is a vector space over R.

Let P4 denote the space of polynomials of degree less than 4 with real coefficients. Show that the standard operations of addition of polynomials, and multiplication of polynomials by a scalar, give P4 the structure of a vector space (over the real numbers R). Your answer should include verification of each of the eight vector space axioms (you may assume the two closure axioms hold for this problem).

Let V be the set of all triples (r,s,t) of real numbers with the standard vector addition, and with scalar multiplication in V defined by k(r,s,t) = (kr,ks,t). Show that V is not a vector space, by considering an axiom that involves scalar multiplication. If your argument involves showing that a certain axiom does not hold, support your argument by giving an example that involves specific numbers. Your answer must be well-written.
