PROBLEM
Given u1=(6,−1) and u2=(3,2), if we let v1=u1, use the Gram-Schmidt process to find v2 If needed, enter your answers as fractions, not decimals.
This question accepts'answers that are in a form like " (−1,3) " or " (3,7,3z) ".

STEP 1
1. We are using the Gram-Schmidt process to orthogonalize the given vectors.
2. The vectors u1 and u2 are in R2.
3. v1 is already given as u1.
4. We need to find v2 such that it is orthogonal to v1.
STEP 2
1. Assign v1 to u1.
2. Compute the projection of u2 onto v1.
3. Subtract the projection from u2 to find v2.
STEP 3
Assign v1 to u1:
v1=u1=(6,−1)
STEP 4
Compute the projection of u2 onto v1. The formula for the projection of a vector a onto a vector b is given by:
projba=b⋅ba⋅bb First, calculate the dot product u2⋅v1:
u2⋅v1=(3,2)⋅(6,−1)=3⋅6+2⋅(−1)=18−2=16 Next, calculate v1⋅v1:
v1⋅v1=(6,−1)⋅(6,−1)=6⋅6+(−1)⋅(−1)=36+1=37 Now, compute the projection:
projv1u2=3716v1=3716(6,−1)=(3796,−3716)
SOLUTION
Subtract the projection from u2 to find v2:
v2=u2−projv1u2=(3,2)−(3796,−3716) Calculate each component:
v2=(3−3796,2+3716) Simplify the components:
v2=(37111−3796,3774+3716)=(3715,3790) The orthogonal vector v2 is:
(3715,3790)
