Question
The inner product, ⟨a|b⟩, of any two vectors a and b in a vector space must satisfy the conditions ⟨a|b⟩ = ⟨b|a⟩∗ and ⟨a|λb⟩ = λ⟨a|b⟩, where λ is a scalar.
Consider the following candidate (provided) for the inner product for vectors in the two dimensional complex vectors space ℂ2 where a = (a1, a2)T and b = (b1, b2)T.
Show that this definition of the inner product satisfies both of the above conditions.
