Tutorial #06

1. 𝑥 = (1, −1,0,2,4), 𝑦 = (2,1,1,3,0) in ℝ5 , then find, < 𝑥, 𝑦 >, ||𝑥||, ||𝑦||

2. Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 8𝑥 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 1 find inner product ||𝑓|| & ||𝑔|| on
𝐶[0,1].

3. Use the inner product to determine the angle between the functions
<𝑢,𝑣>
𝑓1 (𝑥) = sin2𝑥 & 𝑓2 (𝑥) = cos 2𝑥 on [−𝜋, 𝜋] (𝐻𝑖𝑛𝑡: 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 = )
||𝑢||||𝑣||

4. Consider the vector space ℝ𝑛 , and let 𝑉 = (𝑣1 , 𝑣2 , 𝑣3 , … , 𝑣𝑛 ) and

(𝑊 = 𝑤1 , 𝑤2 , 𝑤3 , … , 𝑤𝑛 ) be vector in ℝ𝑛 . Show that the mapping <, >
defined by < 𝑉, 𝑊 > = 𝑘1 𝑤1 𝑣1 + 𝑘2 𝑤2 𝑣2 + 𝑘3 𝑤3 𝑣3 + ⋯ + 𝑘𝑛 𝑤𝑛 𝑣𝑛 is
a valid inner product on ℝ𝑛 if the constant 𝑘1 , 𝑘2 , 𝑘3 , … , 𝑘𝑛 all are
positive.

5. Prove the followings,

2 2
I. ||𝑉 + 𝑊|| − ||𝑉 − 𝑊|| = 4 < 𝑉, 𝑊 >
2 2 2 2
II. ||𝑉 + 𝑊|| + ||𝑉 − 𝑊|| = 2 (||𝑉|| + ||𝑊|| )
