Euclidean space/Linear form/Corresponding vector/Fact

From Wikiversity

Let (V,,) be a Euclidean space, and let

f:V

denote a linear form.

Then there exists a uniquely determined vector

wV such that

f(v)=w,v.

If u1,,un is an orthonormal basis of V, and f(ui)=ai, then this vector equals w=i=1naiui.
