Chapter 5 - Inner Product Spaces - 5.2 Inner Product Spaces - 5.2 Exercises - Page 245: 37

Answer

(a) $\langle p, q \rangle = 0$ (b) $\| p \| =\sqrt{2}$ (c) $\| q \| = \sqrt{2}$ (d) $d(p,q) =2$

Work Step by Step

$p(x)=1+x^2, \quad q(x)=1-x^2$ (a) $\langle p, q \rangle = a_0b_0+a_1b_1+a_2b_2=1+0-1=0$ (b) $\| p \| =\sqrt{\langle p, p\rangle}=\sqrt{a_0^2+a_1^2+a_3^2}=\sqrt{1+0+1}=\sqrt{2}$ (c) $\| q \| =\sqrt{\langle q, q\rangle}=\sqrt{b_0^2+b_1^2+b_3^2}=\sqrt{1+0+1}=\sqrt{2}$ (d) $d(p,q)=\| p-q \|=\| 2x^2 \|=\sqrt{4}=2$
