- (a)
- The zero vector is the only vector of length 0. True False
- (b)
- If \(\norm {\vec {v}-\vec {w}}=0\), then \(\vec {v}=\vec {w}\). True False
- (c)
- If \(\vec {v}=-\vec {v}\), then \(\vec {v}=\vec {0}\). True False
- (d)
- If \(\norm {\vec {v}}=\norm {\vec {w}}\), then \(\vec {v}=\vec {w}\). True False
- (e)
- If \(\norm {\vec {v}}=\norm {\vec {w}}\), then \(\vec {v}=\pm \vec {w}\). True False
- (f)
- If \(\vec {v}=t\vec {w}\) for some scalar \(t\), then \(\vec {v}\) and \(\vec {w}\) have the same direction. True False
- (g)
- If \(\vec {v}\), \(\vec {w}\) and \(\vec {v}+\vec {w}\) are non-zero, and \(\vec {v}\) is parallel to \(\vec {v}+\vec {w}\), then \(\vec {v}\) and \(\vec {w}\) are also parallel. True False
- (h)
- \(\norm {\vec {v}+\vec {w}}=\norm {\vec {v}}+\norm {\vec {w}}\) True False
True or False? If False, you should come up with a counterexample. If True, can
you give a proof?
