extend the vector (1,2,3) to an orthogonal basis for R^3. first of all, i used the dot product to come up with normal vector (-5, 1,1). then i used the cross product to come up with normal vector to both the other vectors, resulting in (-1,-16,11). Does this look correct? Then, is my answer a basis consisting of those three vectors?
