Exercise 1.3.16

Let Cn(R) denote the set of all real-valued functions defined on the real line that have a continuous nth derivative. Prove that Cn(R) is a subspace of (R,R).

Answers

Proof. If f(n) and g(n) are the nth derivative of f and g. Then f(n) + g(n) will be the nth derivative of f + g. And it will continuous if both f(n) and g(n) are continuous. Similarly cf(n) is the nth derivative of cf and it will be continuous. This space has zero function as the zero vector. □
