Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality for the Euclidean Dot Product

Statement

Let nn be a natural number, and let x,yx,y be points of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Write x⋅yx\cdot y for the dot product, ∥ ⋅ ∥\lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert for the Euclidean norm, and ∣⋅∣|\cdot| for the absolute value on the real numbers, with the order of their ordered field structure. Then

∣x⋅y∣ ≤ ∥x∥ ∥y∥.|x\cdot y|\ \le\ \lVert x\rVert\,\lVert y\rVert .
