Exercise 1.2.10
Let denote the set of all differentiable real-valued functions defined on the real line. Prove that is a vector space with the operations of addition and scalar multiplication defined in Example
Answers
A sum of two differentiable real-valued functions as well as a product of a scalar and a differentiable real-valued function are again real-valued. Obviously, the constant function would be the vector in this vector space. Naturally, in this case, the field is the space of real numbers.
