Question: Is following subset of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ also a subspace. Explain why and why not.
$$U=\left \{ (x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^{3}|z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2} \right \}$$
I proved that the subset is not empty as it contains $\vec{0}$ and it satisfies the condition since 0^{2}=0^{2}+0^{2}
I also proved that the subset is closed under scalar multiplication since $\alpha ^{2}z^{2}=\alpha ^{2}\left ( x^{2}+y^{2} \right )\therefore z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2},\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$
However, I am not sure whether it is closed under vector addition or not.
