Question Number 118286 by 1549442205PVT last updated on 16/Oct/20

What condition should be satisfied by  the vectors  a and  b for the following   relations to hold true :(a)∣a+b∣=∣a−b∣  ;(b)∣ a+b∣>∣ a−b∣;(c)∣a+ b∣< ∣a−b∣

a)∣a+b∣=∣a−b∣  ∣a+b∣^2 =∣a−b∣^2   (a+b).(a+b)=(a−b).(a−b)  a^2 +b^2 +2abcosθ=a^2 +b^2 −2abcosθ  [a.b=abcosθ       a.a=a^2     b.b=b^2 ]  4abcosθ=0   θ=(π/2)   so a⊥b

a)a+b∣=∣ab a+b2=∣ab2 (a+b).(a+b)=(ab).(ab) a2+b2+2abcosθ=a2+b22abcosθ [a.b=abcosθa.a=a2b.b=b2] 4abcosθ=0θ=π2soab

b)similarly  ∣a+b∣>∣a−b∣  (√(a^2 +b^2 +2abcosθ)) >(√(a^2 +b^2 −2abcosθ))   cosθ>0  so θ=acute angle  (π/2)>θ>0  c)a+b∣<∣a−b∣  (√(a^2 +b^2 +2abcosθ)) <(√(a^2 +b^2 −2abcosθ))   cosθ=−ve  cosθ<0  π>θ>(π/2)  correction done  plz check

b)similarly a+b∣>∣ab a2+b2+2abcosθ>a2+b22abcosθ cosθ>0soθ=acuteangle π2>θ>0 c)a+b∣<∣ab a2+b2+2abcosθ<a2+b22abcosθ cosθ=ve cosθ<0 π>θ>π2correctiondone plzcheck

Thank sir.You are welcome.  You corrected exactly.When   θ=π then there two possibilities  ∣a+b∣=∣a−b∣ =0 o r ∣a+b∣<∣a−b∣  Question means the inequalities are  really true.
