Let (V, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle)
an Euclidean vector space
and v, u \in V
with {\color{blue}\langle v,u \rangle = A}
.
Determine the value of the scalar product \langle Cv, Bu \rangle
.
\langle Cv, Bu \rangle
=
C*A*B
Using the bilinear property, we have \langle Cv, Bu \rangle =
C \cdot \langle v, Bu \rangle = C \cdot B \cdot {\color{blue}\langle v,u \rangle}
.
Substituting {\color{blue}\langle v,u \rangle = A}
yields
\langle Cv, Bu \rangle = C*A*B
.
