Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, the equality ||u + v|| = ||u|| + ||v|| does not hold for all vectors u and v in 3D. This equality is known as the Triangle Inequality, and it states that the length of the sum of two vectors is always less than or equal to the sum of their individual lengths. Hence, ||u + v|| <= ||u|| + ||v||.
