Exercise 6.1.16

Answers

1.
Check the condition one by one.
  • f + h,g = 1 2π02π(f(t) + h(t))g(t)¯dt
    = 1 2π02πfg¯dt + 1 2π02π(hg¯dt = f,g + h,g.
  • cf,g = 1 2π02πcfg¯dt
    = c( 1 2π02πfg¯dt) = c f,g.
  • f,g¯ = 1 2π02πfg¯dt¯ = 1 2π02πfg¯¯dt
    = 1 2π02πgf¯dt = g,f .
  • f,f = 1 2π02πf2dt > 0

    if f is not zero. Ur... I think this is an exercise for the Adavanced Calculus course.

No. Let
f(t) = { 0 ifx 1 2; x 1 2ifx > 1 2. .

Then we have that f,f = 0 but f0.
