Linear Algebra Vector Spaces Solved Examples Stephen Friedberg Chapter 1 Page 6 Problem 9 Answer
It has been given a property that ‘There exists a vector denoted 0 such that x+0=x for each vector x.
To find: the coordinates of the vector 0 in the Euclidean plane that is satisfying the given property
To calculate that, the vector will be satisfying the vector rules of addition.
Vector law of addition will be,
⇒ (x1,x2)+(01+02)=(x1,x2)
Where (x1,x2)∈R
After following the rules of vector addition,
⇒ (x1+01,x2+02)=(x1,x2)
⇒ x1+01=x1
⇒ 01=x1−x1
⇒ 01=0
In the same way, 02=0
The coordinates of the vector 0 in the Euclidean plane that satisfies the mentioned property will be (0,0).
Page 6 Problem 10 Answer
We have to prove that the vector x emanates from the origin of the Euclidean plane and terminates at the point with coordinates (a1,a2).
Then the vector tx that emanates from the origin terminates at the point with coordinates (ta1,ta2).
Vector x⃗ will be emanating from the origin and terminates at (a1,a2) :x⃗=(a1,a2)−(0,0)
x⃗=(a1,a2)Assume tx⃗ is then,tx⃗=t(a1,a2)
tx⃗=(ta1,ta2)
As we know, tx⃗ emanates from the origin, so,
(ta1,ta2)+(0,0)=(ta1,ta2)
The vector x emanates from the origin of the Euclidean plane and terminates at the point with coordinates (a1,a2), then the vector tx that emanates from the origin terminates at the point with coordinates (ta1,ta2).

We need to prove that the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.
For proving this, we have to assume a parallelogram ABCD and diagonals intersect each other at O.
And further by the use of congruent triangles, the given will be proved.
Sketch a parallelogram ABCD and diagonals intersect each other at O,

Assume △AOB and △DOC,
⇒ ∠AOC=∠DOC ..(opposite angles)
⇒ AB=DC ..(opposite parallel sides)
⇒ ∠ABO=∠ODC (alternate interior angles)
So, △AOD≅△DOC
Therefore, we can conclude by saying
⇒ AO=OC
⇒ DO=BO
The diagonals of the parallelogram will be bisecting each other.
