Question 11
+3 marksNumerical answer
Consider R3 with the dot product and define two functions f:R3×R3→R and g:R3→R≥0, where R≥0:={x∈R∣x≥0}, by f(v,w)=(5−k)v⋅w and g(v)=(6+k)(v12+v22+v32), where v=(v1,v2,v3).
Let S1 denote the set of all values of k∈Z such that f is an inner product on R3 and S2 denote the set of all values of k∈Z such that g defines a norm on R3.
Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
