The exact value of the norm of two vectors

42 Views Asked by At

I'm able to find the minimum and maximum values for the norm of the sum of two vectors using the triangle inequality, but I'm not sure if I can find the exact value without knowing the angle between the vectors.

The following information is given: $\quad\bar v , \bar w \in \Bbb R^n, \quad \Vert \bar v \Vert =2, \quad \Vert \bar w \Vert =3, \quad \bar v \cdot \bar w =-1$ (dot product).

Find $\Vert \bar v + 2\bar w \Vert$.

Any help would be appreciated!
