Show that the set of all multilinear maps is a subspace

246 Views Asked by At

OK, so I need to show that the set of all multilinear maps is a subspace (of, obviously, the set of all linear maps): i. e., it is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication. I have no difficulty in showing that the set is not empty. However, I have no idea about how to show that it is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication. I thought I could do this by simply applying the definitions and then rearranging the terms but nope. Please help!
