Back to Orthogonal Projection Into a Line

Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 3.0
  • What is the orthogonal projection of v⃗\vec{v} into a line if v⃗\vec{v} is a member of that line?

  • Show that if v⃗\vec{v} is not a member of the line then the set {v⃗,v⃗−proj[s⃗ ](v⃗ )}\{\hskip 1.00006pt\vec{v},\vec{v}-\text{proj}_{[\vec{s}\,]}({\vec{v}\,})\hskip 1.00006pt\} is linearly independent.
