Can somebody help me with this one? Given the following vectors:
u=<-3,2>
v=<1,6>
"Find the vector component w of u orthogonal to v."
I came up with the solution: w=<-111/37,74/37>
I found the projection of u onto v which equals w1, then I found w2, and then added the w1 and w2 together. I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it.
Please point me in the right direction?
