For any two vectors vec aa n d vec b , ...

For any two vectors ` vec aa n d vec b` , prove that `| vec a+ vec b|lt=| vec a|+| vec b|`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`(∣​a+b∣)^​2=(∣​a∣)^​2+(∣​b∣)^​2+2∣​a∣∣​b∣cosθ`
`(∣a∣​)^2+(∣​b∣)^​2=(∣​a∣)^​2+(∣b∣)^​2+2∣​a∣​+∣​b∣`​
`∣​a∣∣​b∣​cosθ⩽2∣​a∣∣b∣​`
So,
`(∣a+b∣)^​2⩽(∣a∣∣​b∣​)^2` ...
