Answer on Question #43658 – Math – Functional Analysis
Verify the equality ∥uu+vv∥2+∥uu−vv∥2=2∥uu∥2+2∥vv∥2, and derive the theorem: the sum of the square so the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to the sum of the square so the sides.
Solution:
Using the properties of the inner product:
∥u+v∥2=⟨u+v,u+v⟩=⟨u,u⟩+⟨u,v⟩+⟨v,u⟩+⟨v,v⟩∥u−v∥2=⟨u−v,u−v⟩=⟨u,u⟩−⟨u,v⟩−⟨v,u⟩+⟨v,v⟩∥u+v∥2+∥u−v∥2=⟨u,u⟩+⟨u,v⟩+⟨v,u⟩+⟨v,v⟩+⟨u,u⟩−⟨u,v⟩−⟨v,u⟩+⟨v,v⟩=2⟨u,u⟩+2⟨v,v⟩=2∥u∥2+2∥v∥2
In a parallelogram if given two vectors uu and vv then the diagonals of a parallelogram are uu+vv and uu−vv, so using ∥uu+vv∥2+∥uu−vv∥2=2∥uu∥2+2∥vv∥2 we derive the theorem: the sum of the squares of the lengths of the four sides of a parallelogram equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two diagonals
