Back to Projection Into a Subspace

Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 3.0

Prove that the map p ⁣:V→Vp\colon V\to V is the projection into MM along NN if and only if the map id⁡−p\operatorname{id}-p is the projection into NN along MM. (Recall the definition of the difference of two maps: (id⁡−p) (v⃗)=id⁡(v⃗)−p(v⃗)=v⃗−p(v⃗)(\operatorname{id}-p)\,(\vec{v})=\operatorname{id}(\vec{v})-p(\vec{v})=\vec{v}-p(\vec{v}).)
