6.30 writing a vector as linear combination of orthonormal basis Suppose e1?,…,en? is an orthonormal basis of V and v,w?V. Then (a) v=?v,e1??e1?+?+?v,en??en?, (b) ?v?2=??v,e1???2+?+??v,en???2 (c) ?v,w?=?v,e1???w,e1???+?+?v,en???w,en???. Proof Because e1?,…,en? is a basis of V, there exist scalars a1?,…,an? such that v=a1?e1?+?+an?en?. Because e1?,…,en? is orthonormal, taking the inner product of both sides of this equation with ek? gives ?v,ek??=ak?. Thus 6.30 (a) holds. Now 6.30(b) follows immediately from 6.30(a) and 6.24. Taking the inner product of each side of 6.30 (a) with w and then using the equation ?ek?,w?=?w,ek??? gives 6.30(c).
6.23 example: orthonormal lists (a) The standard basis of Fn is an orthonormal list. (b) (3?1?,3?1?,3?1?),(?2?1?,2?1?,0) is an orthonormal list in F3. (c) (3?1?,3?1?,3?1?),(?2?1?,2?1?,0),(6?1?,6?1?,?6?2?) is an orthonormal list in F3.
Demonstrate result 6.30 (Writing a vector as a linear combination of orthonormal basis) with V=F3, orthonormal basis (e1?,e2?,e3?) given by the list in Example 6.23(c), and v=(9,1,5)
