QUESTION:

Let \(\left\{\mathbf{v}_{1}, \ldots, \mathbf{v}_{p}\right\}\) be an orthonormal set. Verify the following equality by induction, beginning with p = 2. If \(\mathbf{x}=c_{1} \mathbf{v}_{1}+\cdots+c_{p} \mathbf{v}_{p}\), then

\(\|\mathbf{x}\|^{2}=\left|c_{1}\right|^{2}+\cdots+\left|c_{p}\right|^{2}\)

ANSWER:

Solution 2E

Step 1 of 2

The orthonormal set is  .

So, the magnitude of each vector is zero and dot product of each pair of vectors is 0.

Let

The objective of solution is to prove

Use principle of induction to prove this result.

If is an orthonormal set then the vectors and are orthogonal.

Because,

Let

Consider the expression,

So the given equality  holds for
