If I have ${\vec{w}}_{1} = (2, 3)$ and ${\vec{w}}_{2} = (1, 1)$ , but they are relative to the basis $\vec{u} = (1, 1), \vec{v} = (1, - 1)$ . How do I find the scalar product of $w_{1}$ and $w_{2}$ ?
I know that $⟨ w_{1}, w_{2} ⟩ = 2 \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot 1$ when the basis are orthogonal, but that is not the case here. Would I say that $w_{1} = 2 \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot 1$ and $w_{2} = 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot - 1$ ? If so, then how do I proceed from here?

Find the directional derivative of $f = x^{2} \cdot y \cdot z^{3}$ along the curve $x = e^{- u}; y = 2 \sin u + 1; z = u - \cos u$ at the point P where u = 0
My working:
At u=0, x=1, y=1, z=-1 so let u = (1,1,-1).
Know that $D_{u} f (x) = \nabla f (x) \cdot u = (2 x \cdot y \cdot z^{3}, x^{2} \cdot z^{3}, 3 x^{2} \cdot y \cdot z^{3}) \cdot (1, 1, - 1) = (2 x \cdot y \cdot z^{3}, x^{2} \cdot z^{3}, - 3 x^{2} \cdot y \cdot z^{2})$
At u=0, x=(1,1,-1) so $D_{u} f (x) = (2 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 \cdot - 1, 1 \cdot - 1, - 3 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1) = (- 2, - 1, - 3)$
However, I'm not sure if this is correct as I don't know whether I'm meant to substitute u into f to find the derivative at a specific point or not?

Let V be the solution space of the following homogeneous linear system:
$\begin{aligned} x_{1} - x_{2} - 2 x_{3} + 2 x_{4} - 3 x_{5} & = 0 \\ x_{1} - x_{2} - x_{3} + x_{4} - 2 x_{5} & = 0. \end{aligned}$
Find dim(V) and a subspace W of $R^{5}$ such that W contains V and $\dim (W) = 4$ . Justify your answer.
Not sure how to go about doing this.

To find the length of angle bisector of bac I marked the points A(1,−1,−3) B(2,1,−2) C(−5,2,−6). How can I use the fact that the angle between the bisector and two adjacent sides is equal?

The question is the following:
Given the curve $r (a) =< 6 - a^{2}, a^{3} + 1, 1 - a >$ and the plane $x + y + z = π$ , find all the points where the tangent vector on r(a) is parallel to the plane.
I know finding the tangent vector is the first part of the problem. That would be $T (a) = \frac{< - 2 a, 3 a^{2}, - 1 >}{\sqrt{(- 2 a)^{2} + (3 a^{2})^{2} + (- 1)^{2}}}$ . But beyond there I don't know how to draw a relationship between the line and plane.

Vectors in the Precalculus course are usually more challenging since there are different vectors examples that are always mentioned. For example, if you are majoring in Engineering disciplines, you will have to use more than one approach to explain the most efficient ways. Take a look at vectors practice problems that have been presented below. It will help you learn and find the answers that will let you see the best equation and graphs. At the same time, when you are dealing with vectors equations, do not forget about unknown coefficients as you are looking for combinations and various solutions.
