Tutorial Problem Set-II

This document contains 15 exercises involving inner product spaces and related concepts: 1) Find necessary and sufficient conditions for a function on Rn to be an inner product. 2) Determine when a map from R2 to R defined using a 2x2 matrix is an inner product on R2. 3) Show that for a given inner product space with a basis, there is a unique vector with given values when taking the inner product with the basis vectors. 4) Several other exercises involve showing properties of inner products, applying Gram-Schmidt, finding orthonormal bases, and representing inner products using coordinate vectors and the basis inner products.
