Chapter 6: Problem 10
Suppose \(V\) and \(W\) are vector spaces. Define \(V \times W\) by $$V \times W=\\{(f, g): f \in V \text { and } g \in W\\}$$ Define addition and scalar multiplication on \(V \times W\) by $$ \left(f_{1}, g_{1}\right)+\left(f_{2}, g_{2}\right)=\left(f_{1}+f_{2}, g_{1}+g_{2}\right) \quad \text { and } \quad \alpha(f, g)=(\alpha f, \alpha g)$$ Prove that \(V \times W\) is a vector space with these operations.
