Answer

a. $u+v\in V$ b. Sample: let $u=\left[\begin{array}{l} 1\\ 1 \end{array}\right], c=-1.$

Work Step by Step

a. If $\mathrm{u}=\left[\begin{array}{l} u_{1}\\ u_{2} \end{array}\right]\in V,$ and $\mathrm{v}=\left[\begin{array}{l} v_{1}\\ v_{2} \end{array}\right] \in V$, means that $u_{1},u_{2},v_{1},v_{2} \geq 0.$ The sum of nonnegative numbers is nonnegative, $u_{1}+v_{1} \geq 0, \quad u_{2}+v_{2} \geq 0$ $\Rightarrow u+v=\left[\begin{array}{l} u_{1}+v_{1}\\ u_{2}+v_{2} \end{array}\right]\in V.$ b. Sample: let $u=\left[\begin{array}{l} 1\\ 1 \end{array}\right],\quad c=-1.$ $u\in V,$ but $ cu=\left[\begin{array}{l} -1\\ -1 \end{array}\right]\not\in V$
