Question 1

What does the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality state about two vectors u and v?

  • |⟨u,v⟩| ≥ ∥u∥ · ∥v∥
  • |⟨u,v⟩| ≤ ∥u∥ · ∥v∥
  • |⟨u,v⟩ = ∥u∥ · ∥v∥

💡 Hint: Think about how inner products relate to vector lengths.

Question 2

What condition must hold for equality in the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the definition of linear dependence.

Question 1

Prove that for any vectors u = (u1, u2) and v = (v1, v2) in R², |u1v1 + u2v2| ≤ √(u1² + u2²) * √(v1² + v2²) holds.

💡 Hint: Identify the components systematically for clarity.

Question 2
