what is the projection of (3,4) onto (3,1)? A. 0.7(3,1) B. 1.3(2,4) C. 1.3(3,1) D. 0.7(2,4)

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

These are vectors, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

\[proj _{v}u = (\frac{ uv }{ vv })v\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Where those products are dot products.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

'The projection of u onto v'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i plug it into that? (3,4)/(3,1)?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yes, but you would have to find the dot product and u and v, the dot product of v and v. Not just the vectors. You know how to find dot product?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no
