Chapter 10: Q 28. (page 812)

In Exercises 28-31, find ${proj}_{u} v and {proj}_{v} u$ .
$u = <1, 4>, v = <2, - 3>$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The values are ${proj}_{u} v = \frac{- 10}{17} <1, 4> and {proj}_{v} u = \frac{- 10}{13} <2, - 3>$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given vectors are:

$u = <1, 4>, v = <2, - 3>$

Step 2. Find the vector projection of v onto u.

${proj}_{u} v = \frac{u 路 v}{{||u||}^{2}} u u = <1, 4>, v = <2, - 3> u 路 v = 1 (2) + 4 (- 3) = 2 - 12 = - 10 ||u|| = \sqrt{1^{2} + 4^{2}} = \sqrt{1 + 16} = \sqrt{17}$

Then

${proj}_{u} v = \frac{u 路 v}{{||u||}^{2}} u = \frac{- 10}{{(\sqrt{17})}^{2}} <1, 4> = \frac{- 10}{17} <1, 4>$

Therefore, ${proj}_{u} v = \frac{- 10}{17} <1, 4>$ .

Step 3. Find the vector projection of u onto v.

${proj}_{v} u = \frac{u 路 v}{{||v||}^{2}} v u = <1, 4>, v = <2, - 3> ||v|| = \sqrt{2^{2} + {(- 3)}^{2}} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13}$

Then,

${proj}_{v} u = \frac{u 路 v}{{||v||}^{2}} v = \frac{- 10}{{(\sqrt{13})}^{2}} <2, - 3> = \frac{- 10}{13} <2, - 3>$

Therefore, ${proj}_{v} u = \frac{u 路 v}{{||v||}^{2}} v = \frac{- 10}{13} <2, - 3>$ .
