Prove that the only element w in an inner product space V that is orthogonal to every vector, so (w, v) = 0 for all v ∈ V. is the zero vector: w = 0.

Let $V$ be an inner product space. Prove that if $w$ is orthogonal to each of the vectors $\mathbf{u}_{1}, \mathbf{u}_{2}, \ldots, \mathbf{u}_{r},$ then it is orthogonal to every vector in $\operatorname{span}\left\{\mathbf{u}_{1}, \mathbf{u}_{2}, \ldots, \mathbf{u}_{r}\right)$
