To prove the inequality \( |\vec{a} - \vec{b}| \geq ||\vec{a}| - |\vec{b}|| \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the expression We need to show that the magnitude of the difference between two vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) is always greater than or equal to the absolute difference of their magnitudes. ### Step 2: Square both sides To simplify the comparison, we will square both sides of the inequality: \[ ...
