Let x and y be vectors in Rn and define p = xT y yT y y and z = x p (a) Show that p z

Chapter 5, Problem 18

(choose chapter or problem)

Let x and y be vectors in Rn and define p = xT y yT y y and z = x p (a) Show that p z. Thus, p is the vector projection of x onto y; that is, x = p + z, where p and z are orthogonal components of x, and p is a scalar multiple of y. (b) If _p_ = 6 and _z_ = 8, determine the value of _x_. 1
