Prove the set of functions $T$ is a vector space.

$begingroup$



Show that $$T={t(x)|t(x)=a(x^2-1)+bln x+ccot x}$$ is a vector space.




My attempt:

To prove a vector space is to prove for $x_1,x_2in T$, $x_1+x_2in T$. So I calculated $$t(x_1)+t(x_2)=a({x_1}^2+{x_2}^2-2)+b ln x_1x_2+c(cot x_1+cot x_2)$$ But clearly it is not in T. Where did I miss?

    You need to compute $(t_1+t_2)(x)$, not $t(x_1)+t(x_2)$!

    Objects in $T$ are functions, say $f$ and $g$, then to be closed under addition, you need to show that $f+g$ is in $T$ as well. What you have done is taken inputs to the functions as the objects of $T$, which is incorrect.

Ther must be $x_1= x_2=x$ and $$t_1(x)= a_1(x^2-1)+b_1ln x +c_1cot x$$ $$t_2(x)= a_2(x^2-1)+b_2ln x +c_2cot x$$ so



$$t_1(x)+t_2(x)= underbrace{(a_1+a_2)}_{a}(x^2-1)+underbrace{(b_1+b_2)}_{b}ln x +underbrace{(c_1+c_2)}_{c}cot x$$
