youre welcome

It is analaogous to a subset. It is a space in its own right but usually spans only an incomplete part of V. Example: V is spanned by (1,0,0) (0,1,0) (0,0,1) xyz 3 d consider the space S spanned by (1,0,0) (0,1,0) the plane x,y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for higher dimension, is it still called "subspace"?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sub tends to mean "within" its hard to fit a higher dimension inside of a lower one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so let's say 7 dimension space, what is "subspace"?
