To prove that \((\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2\) if and only if \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Expand the left-hand side We start with the expression \((\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} + \vec{b})\). Using the distributive property of the dot product, we can expand this as follows: \[ (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a} + \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{a} + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b} ...
