To prove the inequality \( |\vec{a} + \vec{b}| \leq |\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}| \) for any two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Start with the expression for the magnitude of the sum of two vectors We know that the magnitude of a vector can be expressed in terms of the dot product. Therefore, we can write: \[ |\vec{a} + \vec{b}|^2 = (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \] ...
