In exercises 7-10, show that {u1, u2} or {u1,u2,u3} is an orthogonal basis for \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) or \({\mathbb{R}^3}\), respectively. Then express x as a linear combination of the u.
7. \[{u_1} = \left[ {\begin{align}2\\{ - 3}\end{align}} \right]\], \[{u_2} = \left[ {\begin{align}6\\4\end{align}} \right]\], and \[x = \left[ {\begin{align}9\\{ - 7}\end{align}} \right]\]
Find a polynomial \({p_{\bf{3}}}\) such that \(\left\{ {{p_{\bf{0}}},{p_{\bf{1}}},{p_{\bf{2}}},{p_{\bf{3}}}} \right\}\) (see Exercise 11) is an orthogonal basis for the subspace \({{\bf{P}}_{\bf{3}}}\) of \({{\bf{P}}_{\bf{4}}}\). Scale the polynomials \({p_{\bf{3}}}\) so that vector of values is \(\left( { - {\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{0}}, - {\bf{2}},{\bf{1}}} \right)\).
In Exercises 11 and 12, find the closest point to\[{\bf{y}}\]in the subspace\[W\]spanned by\[{{\bf{v}}_1}\], and\[{{\bf{v}}_2}\].
11.\[y = \left[ {\begin{aligned}3\\1\\5\\1\end{aligned}} \right]\],\[{{\bf{v}}_1} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}3\\1\\{ - 1}\\1\end{aligned}} \right]\],\[{{\bf{v}}_2} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}1\\{ - 1}\\1\\{ - 1}\end{aligned}} \right]\]
According to Kepler’s first law, a comet should have an elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic orbit (with gravitational attractions from the planets ignored). In suitable polar coordinates, the position \(\left( {r,\vartheta } \right)\) of a comet satisfies an equation of the form
\(r = \beta + e\left( {r \cdot \cos \vartheta } \right)\)
Where \(\beta \) is a constant and \(e\) is the eccentricity of the orbit, with \(0 \le e < 1\) for an ellipse, \(e = 1\) for a parabola, and \(e > 1\) for a hyperbola. Suppose observations of a newly discovered comet provide the data below. Determine the type of orbit, and predict where the comet will be when \(\vartheta = 4.6\left( {{\rm{radians}}} \right)\).
\(\begin{array}{{}{}} \vartheta & & {.88}&{1.10}&{1.42}&{1.77}&{2.14} \\ \hline r& {3.00}&{2.30}&{1.65}&{1.25}&{1.01} \end{array}\)
In Exercises 3–6, verify that\[\left\{ {{{\bf{u}}_1},{{\bf{u}}_2}} \right\}\]is an orthogonal set, and then find the orthogonal projection of\[{\bf{y}}\]onto Span\[\left\{ {{{\bf{u}}_1},{{\bf{u}}_2}} \right\}\].
5.\[y = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{ - 1}\\2\\6\end{aligned}} \right]\],\[{{\bf{u}}_1} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}3\\{ - 1}\\2\end{aligned}} \right]\],\[{{\bf{u}}_2} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}1\\{ - 1}\\{ - 2}\end{aligned}} \right]\]
