Show that the norm of the component of a vector is smaller than the norm of the vector

72 Views Asked by At

$\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\lVert#1\rVert}$I want to show that $\norm{e_i v_i} \leq \norm v$.

But applying the triangle inequality yields $\norm{v}. \leq \norm{v-e_i v_i}+ \norm{e_i v_i} $which doesn't really help.

Tips appreciated. thanks
