Question
Let A = a11 a12 a21 a22 and B = b11 b12 b21 b22 be vectors in M2(R). Show that the mapping A, B = a11b11 does not define a valid inner product on M2(R). Which of the four properties of an inner product, if any, do hold? Justify your answer.
Solution
The first step in solving 5.1 problem number 8 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let A = a11 a12 a21 a22 and B = b11 b12 b21 b22 be vectors in M2(R). Show that the mapping A, B = a11b11 does not define a valid inner product on M2(R). Which of the four properties of an inner product, if any, do hold? Justify your answer.
From the textbook chapter Definition of an Inner Product Space you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
