Answer

H is a subspace of $M_{2\times 4}$.

Work Step by Step

(a) The zero matrix from $M_{2\times 4}$ is such that $F0=0$ 0$\in$ H. (b) If A,B$\in$H, then FA=0 and FB=0. F(A+B)=FA+FB$ \quad$ (left distributive law, Th.2b, sec 2-1) F(A+B)=$0+0=0$, so A+B$\in$H. H is closed over addition. (c) If A$\in$H, then FA=0 F(cA)=c(FA) $\quad$... (Th.2.d, sec 2-1) F(cA)=$c0=0$, so H is closed over scalar multiplication. Conclusion: By definition of subspace, H is a subspace of $M_{2\times 4}$. H is a subspace of $M_{2\times 4}$.
