What the problems look like

A few statements from this skill. Answers, hints and worked solutions live in the practice session.

  1. Warm-up

    In the Gram-Schmidt process applied to u=(020)u = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 20 \end{pmatrix} and v=(24)v = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}, compute the projection coefficient u⋅vv⋅v\dfrac{u\cdot v}{v\cdot v} used to remove the vv-component from uu.

  2. Warm-up

    In the Gram-Schmidt process applied to u=(515)u = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ 15 \end{pmatrix} and v=(34)v = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}, compute the projection coefficient u⋅vv⋅v\dfrac{u\cdot v}{v\cdot v} used to remove the vv-component from uu.

  3. Warm-up

    In the Gram-Schmidt process applied to u=(300)u = \begin{pmatrix} 30 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} and v=(5−5)v = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix}, compute the projection coefficient u⋅vv⋅v\dfrac{u\cdot v}{v\cdot v} used to remove the vv-component from uu.
