Question:
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample.
a. José travels from point A to point B in the plane by following vector u, then vector v, and then vector w. If he starts at A and follows w, then v, and then u, he still arrives at B.
b. Maria travels from A to B in the plane by following the vector u. By following -u, she returns from B to A.
c. |u + v| ≥ |u|, for all vectors u and v.
d. |u + v| ≥ |u| + |v|, for all vectors u and v.
e. Parallel vectors have the same length.
f. Ifthen A = C and B = D.
g. If u and v are perpendicular, then |u + v| = |u| + |v|.
h. If u and v are parallel and have the same direction, then |u + v| = |u| + |v|.
