Let v and w Find the decomposition with respect to w Hint
Let v = and w =. Find the decomposition with respect to w. (Hint: is the vector projection of v onto w).
Solution
vk=dot product of v on w
Let i,j,k be the unit vectors along axises.
Then,
v=1i-j+3k
w=4i-2j+k
vk=(1.4+(-1.-2)+3.1)
vk=9
And v perpendicular is cross product of v on w i.e
v perp.= (1i-j+3k)*(4i-2j+k)
=i(-1+6)-j(1-12)+k(-2+4)
=5i+11j+2k
Decomposition=vk+v perp.
=9+5i+11j+2k
