Statement

Let VV together with ,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle be a complex inner product space, let \lVert\cdot\rVert be the induced norm, let 0V0_{V} be the zero vector, and let u,vVu,v\in V. Then the following hold.

1. (Symmetry) uu and vv are orthogonal if and only if vv and uu are orthogonal.

2. (Pythagorean identity) If uu and vv are orthogonal, then

u+v2=u2+v2.\lVert u+v\rVert^{2}=\lVert u\rVert^{2}+\lVert v\rVert^{2}.

3. (Zero vector) 0V0_{V} and vv are orthogonal.
