031 Review Part 2, Problem 6

Let  ${\vec {v}}={\begin{bmatrix}-1\\3\\0\end{bmatrix}}$  and  ${\vec {y}}={\begin{bmatrix}2\\0\\5\end{bmatrix}}.$

(a) Find a unit vector in the direction of  ${\vec {v}}.$

(b) Find the distance between  ${\vec {v}}$  and  ${\vec {y}}.$

(c) Let  $L={\text{Span }}\{{\vec {v}}\}.$  Compute the orthogonal projection of  ${\vec {y}}$  onto  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L.}
