Prove that (vec a + vec b).(vec a + vec ...

Prove that `(vec a + vec b).(vec a + vec b) = | vec a|^(2)` + `|vec b|^(2)`, if and only if `vec a, vec b ` are perpendicualr, given `a ne vec 0, b ne vec 0`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`( vec a+ vec b).(vec a+ vec b) = |vec a|^(2) + |vec b|^(2)`
