I'm having trouble solving the following problem.
Problem. Prove ${u_k}to u$ given $lim_{ktoinfty}langle u_k,vrangle=langle u,vrangle$ for $uin mathbb{R}^n$, $forall vin mathbb{R}^n$
The textbook introduces the $i^{text{th}}$ component function $p_{i} : mathbb{R}^{n} to mathbb{R}$ for $1 leq i leq n$ by $p_{i}(u) = u_{i}$, where $u in mathbb{R}^{n}$.
Using this definition, I can express any vector $u in mathbb{R}^{n}$ by $u = (p_{1}(u), ldots, p_{n}(u))$. I know that this function is linear.
The book also tells us that a sequence ${u_{k}}$ converges to $u$ in $mathbb{R}^{n}$ if and only if it converges componentwise (i.e. for each $1 leq i leq n$, $lim_{ktoinfty} p_{i}(u_{k}) = p_{i}(u)).$
The book provides a hint to define the point $e_{i} in mathbb{R}^{n}$ whose $i^{text{ith}}$ component is equal to $1$ and every other component equals $0$. This way, $p_{i}(u) = langle u, e_{i}rangle$ for each point $u in mathbb{R}^{n}$. I've been working with this component function and don't seem to be making any progress. Any help is appreciated
Note:$langle u,vrangle$ denotes $ucdot v$, u and v are points in $mathbb{R}^n$, $u_k$ is a sequence in $mathbb{R}^n$.
My attempt:
Letting $u_k=(u_1^k,u_2^k,...u_n^k)$ with the $k$ representing the $k$-th term in the sequence $u=(u_1,u_2,...u_n)$. Then $lim_{ktoinfty}u_i^k=u_i$ $forall i$.
$lim_{ktoinfty}langle u_k,vrangle=langle u,vrangle$ for any given $vinmathbb{R}$
, let $v=e_i$ then $lim_{ktoinfty}langle u_k,e_irangle=langle u,e_irangle$.
Before proceeding we establish $langle e_i, e_irangle=1$ and $langle e_i,e_jrangle=0$ assuming $ineq j$.
begin{align*}
lim_{ktoinfty} langle u_k,e_irangle
&= Big< lim_{ktoinfty} u_k, e_i Big>
= Big< lim_{ktoinfty}(u_1^k, u_2^k, cdots, u_n^k),e_i Big> \
&= Big< Big( lim_{ktoinfty}u_1^k, lim_{ktoinfty}u_2^k, cdots, lim_{ktoinfty}u_n^k Big),e_i Big>
=lim_{ktoinfty} u_i^k
end{align*}
Now we have
$$lim_{ktoinfty}langle u_k,e_irangle
= lim_{ktoinfty}u_i^k
= langle u,e_irangle=langle (u_1,u_2,...u_n),e_irangle
= u_i, forall i quad Box$$
