Determining if a set of vectors is a subspace (closed under addition and scalar multiplication). Frequent Search: "Is the set of all polynomials of degree exactly 2 a subspace?" Correct Solution Logic: No, because the zero vector (the zero polynomial) does not have degree 2. A solution manual will highlight this counter-intuitive edge case.
