Using Mathematica for parallelogram law

Anonymous User

Posted 12 years ago

How would you use Mathematica to verify the parallelogram law in real numbers^3 for any pair of vectors u and v.

In two dimensions:

v1 = {a, b};
v2 = {c, d}

Expand[2 Tr[v1^2] + 2 Tr[v2^2] == Tr[(v1 + v2)^2] + Tr[(v1 - v2)^2]]

In three dimensions:

v1 = {a, b, c};
v2 = {d, e, f};

Expand[2 Tr[v1^2] + 2 Tr[v2^2] == Tr[(v1 + v2)^2] + Tr[(v1 - v2)^2]]
