Orthogonalizing vectors. Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, a

Answer:

$\\ \gamma= \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question to be solved is the following :

Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, and that γ is unique if $b \neq 0$ . Recall that given two vectors a,b a⊥ b if and only if $a\cdot b =0$ where $\cdot$ is the dot product defined in $\mathbb{R}^n$ . Suposse that $b\neq 0$ . We want to find γ such that $(a-\gamma b)\cdot b=0$ . Given that the dot product can be distributed and that it is linear, the following equation is obtained
