We are given vectors u=(1,0,2) and v=(3,5,1).
To find an orthogonal vector, we need to find a vector that is perpendicular to both u and v. One way to do this is to take the cross product of u and v:
u×v=|i^j^k^102351|=(10,7,5)
So, the vector w=(10,7,5) is orthogonal to both u and v.
To find the projection of v onto u, we can use the formula:
projuv=v·uu2u
where · denotes the dot product.
First, we calculate u:
u=12+02+(2)2=5
Next, we calculate the dot product v·u:
v·u=(3)(1)+(5)(0)+(1)(2)=5
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
projuv=55(1,0,2)=(1,0,2)
Therefore, the projection of v onto u is the vector (1,0,2).
Finally, to find the component of u on v, we can use the formula:
compvu=u·vv
Again, we calculate v first:
v=(3)2+52+12=35
Next, we calculate the dot product u·v:
u·v=(1)(3)+(0)(5)+(2)(1)=5
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
compvu=535=53535=357
Therefore, the component of u on v is 357.
