Since it is given that {u1 , u2 , u3 } spansW, it is only necessary to show that {u1 , u2 , u3 } is a linearly independent and
orthogonal set.
Recall that if S = {u1 , u2 , ..., up } is an orthogonal set of nonzero vectors in ℝn , then S is linearly independent and is a basis for
the subspace spanned by S.
For {u1 , u2 , u3 } to be an orthogonalset, the inner products of each pair of elements must equal 0.
u1 • u2 = 1 • ( − 1) + 1 • 6 + 0 • 4 + 1 • ( − 5) = 0
Now, find u1 • u3 .
u1 • u3 = 1 • ( − 1) + 1 • 0 + 0 • 1 + 1 • 1 = 0
Finally, find u2 • u3 .
u2 • u3 = − 1 • ( − 1) + 6 • 0 + 4 • 1 − 5 • 1 = 0
Since u1 • u2 = u1 • u3 = u2 • u3 = 0, all inner products are 0 and the set {u1 , u2 , u3 } is orthogonal.Thus, {u1 , u2 , u3 } is an
orthogonal basis of W.
Let W be a subspace of ℝn . Then each y in ℝn can be written uniquely in the form y = y + z where y is in W and z is in W . In

fact, if u1 ,...,up is any orthogonal basis ofW, then y = u1 + ⋯ + u and z = y − y .

So, there exists y and z such that y = u1 + u2 + u3 and z = y − y . To find y , start by computing .

Find y • u1 .
