Are these two vectors, and you're trying to find the scalar projection?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Dot product :o

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I'm guessing you don't know what dot product is. .-.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

The denominator is actually v dot v.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Omg I messed up the formula, hold on.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

\[proj_v u = \frac{u.v}{v.v}v\] The projection of u onto v

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yeah, you'll have to do that for the numerator and denominator. Then multiply that quotient by vector v.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

For what?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Omg, I screwed up the dot product formula. >:l \[<X1,Y1>.<X2,Y2> = X1*X2 + Y1*Y2\]
