Question

Please? Any ideas on how to do this? Award At End.

u = <1,2,5> and v = <4,-2,5> using u and v, find the component of u in the direction of v.

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{<u,v>}{<u,u>}v\)

This should be ringing bells.

Answer 2

@tkhunny so its basically (<1,2,5,4,-2,5>/<1,2,5,4,-2,5>)v

Answer 3

No, my angle brackets signify an Inner Product. Perhaps that was insufficiently clear.
