Vector proof

2009-10-09 3:09 pm
Don't know how to prove the following, thanks for help.

Suppose a is a vector with the property that a.b=0 for every vector b. Prove that we must have a=0.

Thank you very much!

只要 inner product space 都對,並不需要假設 R^n。

題目中也沒有說要假設 finite dimension。

問的人要說清楚,你的架構是在 inner product space。有時候甚至要說明是 real 還是 complex inner product space。如下列命題:

V complex inner space, T: V--> V linear and (Tx, x) = 0 for all x in V, then T = 0, the zero operator.

complex 換成 real 就不行。

Since a.b = 0 holds true for all b, then this is also true for b = a => a.a = 0
=> | a |^2 = 0 => a = 0
