Document Summary

Let u, v and w be vectors in rn and let c be a scalar. Prove that (u + v) (u + v) = u u + 2(u v) + v v. We have (u + v) (u + v) = (u + v) u + (u + v) v. = u u + v u + u v + v v. = u u + u v + u v + v v. = u u + 2(u v) + v v. To see how the dot product plays a role in the calculation of lengths, recall how lengths are computed in the plane. The theorem of pythago- ras is all we need. In r2, the length of the vector v = [ a origin to the point a = (a, b). ] is the distance from the a2 + b2 = v v. Let v = v1 v2 vn be a vector in rn.
