Projection of vˉ along uˉ and wˉ along uˉ is ∣uˉ∣vˉ⋅uˉ and ∣uˉ∣wˉ⋅uˉ respectively According to question ∣u∣v⋅u=∣u∣w⋅u⇒v⋅u=w⋅u. and v⋅w=0 ∣uˉ−vˉ+wˉ∣2=∣uˉ∣2+∣vˉ∣2+∣wˉ∣2−2uˉ⋅vˉ+2uˉ⋅wˉ−2vˉ⋅wˉ=14⇒∣uˉ−vˉ+wˉ∣=14
Let u, v, w be such that | u|=1,| v|=2,| w|=3. If the projection v along u is equal to that of w along u and v, w are perpendicular to each other…
