Vector space/Subspaces of K^123/Example
Appearance
Let be a field. It is easy to get an overview over the linear subspaces of , as the dimension of a linear subspace equals with , due to fact. For , there is only the null space itself; for , there is the null space and itself. For , there is the null space, the whole plane , and the one-dimensional lines through the origin. Every line has the form
with a vector . Two vectors different from define the same line if and only if they are linearly dependent. For , there is the null space, the whole space , the one-dimensional lines through the origin, and the two-dimensional planes through the origin.
