Question 11

+3 marksNumerical answer

Consider R3\mathbb{R}^3 with the dot product and define two functions f:R3×R3→Rf : \mathbb{R}^3 \times \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R} and g:R3→R≥0g : \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^{\geq 0}, where R≥0:={x∈R∣x≥0}\mathbb{R}^{\geq 0} := \{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x \geq 0\}, by f(v,w)=(5−k)v⋅wf(v,w) = (5-k)v \cdot w and g(v)=(6+k)(v12+v22+v32)g(v) = (6+k)\left(\sqrt{v_1^2 + v_2^2 + v_3^2}\right), where v=(v1,v2,v3)v = (v_1, v_2, v_3).

Let S1S_1 denote the set of all values of k∈Zk \in \mathbb{Z} such that ff is an inner product on R3\mathbb{R}^3 and S2S_2 denote the set of all values of k∈Zk \in \mathbb{Z} such that gg defines a norm on R3\mathbb{R}^3.

Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
