Suppose u = (u1,u2) and v = (v1, v2) are two vectors in R2. Explain why the operations (u * v) = u1v2 cannot be an inner product.
If v is an inner product space and by property of negativity says ,
for all .
Now , is given by where
Take then ,
But .
So this operation violates non-negativity property and hence cannot be an inner product .
