Question 1

State the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality for two vectors \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\), and state the condition for equality.
\(|\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b}| \le |\mathbf{a}|\,|\mathbf{b}|\); equality if and only if \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) are parallel (one is a scalar multiple of the other).
