    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    ok, i will for sure do that while I am studying. Thanks for all the help.

    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    btw, u must know proofs well and understand them well. Do you have any tips for studying them/remembering proofs for tests/exams?

    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    w.u1=0 w.u2=0 .. w.ur=0 they are all orthogonal to each other. =k1(w.u1) + k2(w.u2) + ... + kr(w.ur) =k1(0) +k2(0) +...+ kr(0) =0 and btw man i really appreciate u walkin me through this proof. This helps me sooo much for this proof and just solving proofs in general.

    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    Compute (k1u1+k2u2+...+krur).w =w.k1u1 + w.k2u2 + ... + w.krur =k1(w.u1) + k2(w.u2) + ... + kr(w.ur) sorry about bein really dumb with this, I am horrible with proofs. but good with numbers...

    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    i am sooo confused. b and w are both vectors. so b=(b1,b2,...br) w=(w1,w2,...wr) w vector is perpendicular to b vector (b lies in the span of u1,u2,...ur) so b1w1+b2w2+...+brwr=0 *i noticed u edited what u asked me. What is (k1u1+k2u2+...+krur).w? k1u1w1+k2u2w2+...+krurwr = 0...

    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    So w has to be orthogonal to all of the vectors in the span{u1,u2,...,ur} k1u1+k2u2+...+krur=b to test for spanning where b is an arbitrary vector. would 'b' be w in this case?

    Inner Product Space and Orthogonality proof question (is this the correct way?)

    Homework Statement Let V be the inner product space. Show that if w is orthogonal to each of the vectors u1, u2,...,ur, then it is orthogonal to every vector in the span{u1,u2,...,ur}. Homework Equations u.v=0 to be orthogonal If u and v are vectors in an inner product space, then...

    Exploring Scalar Multiplication: u & v in V

    u and v are contained in V Lets say the scalar multiplication is defined as: ex. ku=k^2 u or ku = (0,ku2) u=(u1,u2) does this mean that this is also the same for different scalar m? mu=m^2 u or mu = (0,mu2) u=(u1,u2) and does this mean the same for any vector v kv=k^2 v or...

    Scalar multiplication axiom, quick question

    so u guys know and I am not confusing you guys i showed 2 examples there to help show my problem. Ex 1. Lets say the scalar multiplication is defined as: ku = (0,ku2) u=(u1,u2) does this then mean that this is also the same for different scalar m? mu = (0,mu2) u=(u1,u2) and...

    Dielectrics and Capacitors, Very confused.

    i don't get it, how do i find the capacitance when the teflon is inserted? do i just multiply the C (up there) by 2.0? ktef should be 2.0 not 3.0

    Dielectrics and Capacitors, Very confused.

    Homework Statement A 25pF parallel plate capacitor with an air gap b/w the plates is connected to a 100v battery. A Teflon slab is then inserted b/w the plates and completely fills the gap. What is the change in charge on the positive plate when the Teflon is inserted? Homework Equations...
