Set of all functions defined on a given interval a vector space?
Added by Peggy W.
Step 1
Closure under addition: If f(x) and g(x) are two functions defined on the given interval, then their sum f(x) + g(x) is also a function defined on the same interval. Therefore, the set of all functions defined on a given interval is closed under addition. Show more…

Let C[a, b] be the set of all continuous real-valued functions on the interval [a, b]. If f is in C[a, b], we can extend the continuous function from R to R by letting it be the function defined by f(a) if a ≤ x ≤ b, f(c) if a < x < b, and f(b) if x > b. This way, we can view C[a, b] as a subset of F, the vector space of all functions from R to R. Verify that C[a, b] is a vector space.
