1.find an expression for 1/2||u+v||²+1/2||u-v||² in terms of ||u||²+||v||².
2.find an expression for ||u+v||²-||u-v||² in terms of u×v.
3.use the result of 2 to deduce an expression for ||u+v||² whenever u and v are orthogonal to each other.
1. Given arbitrary vectors and We get
Then
Therefore
2.
Therefore
3. If u and v are orthogonal to each other, then
Hence
