(Solved): 2. Let V be a vector space over R equipped with a positive definite symmetric bilinear form :VV ...
2. Let V be a vector space over R equipped with a positive definite symmetric bilinear form ?:V×V?R, and let ?. II be the associated norm on V. We say that a sequence {xn?}n=1?? in V converges to x?V and write xn??x if ?x?xn???0 as n??. Suppose now that we have sequences xn??x and yn??y in V. Show that ?(xn?,yn?)??(x,y). (Hint. Observe that ?(x,y)??(xn?,yn?)=?(x?xn?,y)+?(xn?,y?yn?), and then use the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.)
