Linear Algebra: Vector Space (non example)

36 Views Asked by At

In the set $V=\{x|x\in \mathbb R,x>0\}$, I know it is not closed under multiplication. But I am not sure how to prove or make counterexample in the addition property. Can anyone help explain this to me?

as this set isn't closed under addition (there exists no inverse elements $y$ such that for every $x: x+y =0$), then it is not a vector space
