Question

Find the projection of u onto v URGENT HELP

Answer 1

Given:

Two vectors are:

$u=\left$

$v=\left$

To find:

The projection of u onto v.

Solution:

Magnitude of a vector $v=\left$ is:

$|v|=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Dot product of two vector $v_1=\left$ and $v_2=\left$ is:

$v_1\cdot v_2=a_1a_2+b_1b_2$

Formula for projection of u onto v is:

$Proj_vu=\dfrac{u\cdot v}{|v|^2}v$

$Proj_vu=\dfrac{\left \cdot \left }{(\sqrt{2^2+17^2)^2}}\left$

$Proj_vu=\dfrac{0\cdot 2+6\cdot 17}{4+289}\left$

$Proj_vu=\dfrac{0+102}{293}\left$

On further simplification, we get

$Proj_vu=\dfrac{102}{293}\left$

$Proj_vu=\left$

$Proj_vu=\left$

Therefore, the projection of u onto v is $Proj_vu=\left$.
