Work Step by Step

We can write set $S$ as $S=\{A =\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} \end{bmatrix} \in M_2(R): a_{11}+a_{21}+a_{31}=0,a_{12}+a_{22}+a_{32}=0\}$. We can notice that $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \in S$, hence $S$ is nonempty set. A1. Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} \end{bmatrix} ,B=\begin{bmatrix} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \\ b_{31} & b_{32} \end{bmatrix} \in S$ Obtain: $A+B=\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} \end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \\ b_{31} & b_{32} \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} a_{11}+b_{11} & a_{12}+b_{12} \\ a_{21}+b_{21} & a_{22}+b_{22} \\ a_{31}+b_{31} & a_{32}+b_{32} \end{bmatrix} =0$ Since $A+B \in S$, set $S$ is closed under addition. A2. Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} \end{bmatrix} \in S$ and $k \in R$ Obtain: $kA=k\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} ka_{11} & ka_{12} \\ ka_{21} & ka_{22} \\ka_{31} & ka_{32} \end{bmatrix} =k.0=0$ Since $kA \in S$, set $S$ is closed under scalar multiplication (2) From (1),(2) and since $S$ is nonempty subset, $S$ is a subspace of $S$
