Added F^n vector space content

Changes to the content

# F^n is a vector space.

Put content here**Theorem:** For any field \(\mathbb{F}\), the set \(\mathbb{F}^n\) (all ordered \(n\)-tuples of elements from \(\mathbb{F}\)) is a vector space over \(\mathbb{F}\) with component-wise operations:
⏎
- **Addition:** \((a_1, \ldots, a_n) + (b_1, \ldots, b_n) = (a_1+b_1, \ldots, a_n+b_n)\)
- **Scalar multiplication:** \(c(a_1, \ldots, a_n) = (ca_1, \ldots, ca_n)\) for \(c \in \mathbb{F}\)
⏎
**Verification:** All ten axioms follow from the field axioms of \(\mathbb{F}\).
⏎
This generalizes \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and \(\mathbb{C}^n\) to any field, including finite fields like \(\mathbb{F}_p\) (integers modulo \(p\)) and the rational numbers \(\mathbb{Q}\).
