标记，目前没有完成这道题，想出证明后会进行完善。

Question:
Prove that the union of three subspaces of $V$ is a subspace of $V$ if and only if one of the subspaces of $V$ contains the others.
证明$V$的三个子空间的并是$V$的子空间当且仅当其中一个子空间包含另两个子空间。
Solution:
Let $A$, $B$, $C$ be the three subspaces of V.
Part 1:
Assume $A\cup B\cup C=A$ or $B$ or $C$.
Clearly $A\cup B\cup C$ is one of these three vector spaces of $A$, $B$, $C$. Therefor $A\cup B\cup C$ is the subspaces of $V$.
Part 2:
Assume $A\cup B\cup C\ne A$ or $B$ or $C$.
Firstly, consider the condition:
$A\cup B\cup C=A\cup B$ or $B\cup C$ or $A\cup C$.
We have discussed this situation in the previous blog, you can read it by clicking this link: 证明V的两个子空间的并是V的子空间当且仅当其中一个子空间包含另一个子空间.
Secondly, consider the situation that neither of these three subspaces contained in the others.
