1E
Question: In Exercises 1 and 2, you may assume that\(\left\{ {{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}},...,{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\)is an orthogonal basis for\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{4}}}\).
1.\({{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{4}}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\end{aligned}} \right]\),\({{\bf{u}}_{\bf{2}}} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}\\{\bf{5}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{aligned}} \right]\),\({{\bf{u}}_{\bf{3}}} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{4}}}\end{aligned}} \right]\),\({{\bf{u}}_{\bf{4}}} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{aligned}} \right]\),\({\bf{x}} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{10}}}\\{ - {\bf{8}}}\\{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{0}}\end{aligned}} \right]\)
Write x as the sum of two vectors, one in\({\bf{Span}}\left\{ {{{\bf{u}}_1},{{\bf{u}}_2},{{\bf{u}}_3}} \right\}\)and the other in\({\bf{Span}}\left\{ {{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\).
