Proposition I.2

If V is a vector space and (Wα)αinA is any collection of subspaces, then W = αA is a subspace.

Answers

By Proposition 1 it suffices to show that W is closed under linear combinations. Let c K and let v,w W be arbitrary. Since all of the Wα are subspaces themselves, and since αinA : v,w Wα, we must also have α A : cv + w Wαcv + w W.
