Allison:

Oh girl hold on lemme get help lol

Allison:

@Ultrilliam @Angelica @Warriorz13

xXMarcelieXx:

thanks lol

Angelica:

I dont even know what Calc 3 is pft XD

Ultrilliam:

I'm still in precalc @vocaloid

Angelica:

I take Geometry

xXMarcelieXx:

D: i need help with this subject.. im so lost and her study guide looks like another mathematical language too me

Angelica:

I would help if I could but idk how

Ultrilliam:

you know I should know vectors because of the c++ class I was in... but yea... one sec while I look

Ultrilliam:

a) position 1 b) position 2 If I have that right... orthogonal means the product of the 2 positions = 0 I believe

Ultrilliam:

although I don't know the terminology to identify the positions in the vectors... RIP

xXMarcelieXx:

looks right but im like which formula do we use

Ultrilliam:

I just used intuition lol

xXMarcelieXx:

i found this one for number 3 that is similar but idk http://math.arizona.edu/~mgilbert/HW1_Solutions_223_Fall2015.pdf

loveboy:

you know the formula for finding one vector component parallel to other vector ?

loveboy:

this might help you

xXMarcelieXx:

do i have to draw the diagram ?

loveboy:

its your own choice but why so? you have a formula ,just use it diagram only simplifies your imagination that's all but i recommend you to draw the diagram

xXMarcelieXx:

idk how to draw the diagram. i have a hard time visualizing stuff

loveboy:

umm i'm here ,i'll try to guide you

loveboy:

|dw:1505151450461:dw| now take the component of v along the direction of b that gives you the vector component parallel to b and that is vcos theta

loveboy:

am i right?

xXMarcelieXx:

yeah

loveboy:

okay! so we get |dw:1505151606512:dw| do i write it as well ?

xXMarcelieXx:

that formula is for parallel component right ?

loveboy:

yep

xXMarcelieXx:

\[\theta \cos \theta | <1 ,2 , -1 >/ < 1 , 2 , -1 > \]

xXMarcelieXx:

wait. i think i Salsaed up lol

xXMarcelieXx:

are you there lool

loveboy:

i was wondering that what made you think like that lol

loveboy:

and still its difficult to understand you xD

xXMarcelieXx:

i followed the formula e.e

loveboy:

okay so where we are

xXMarcelieXx:

yes im having a hard time getting it lol

loveboy:

okay so we have a formula |dw:1505152286185:dw|

loveboy:

can you find |dw:1505152397468:dw|

xXMarcelieXx:

we get | b | = sq root 6 right ?

xXMarcelieXx:

aye dont leave me here lol

loveboy:

back

xXMarcelieXx:

wb

loveboy:

thank you :D

loveboy:

yeah modulus of b is correct

loveboy:

|dw:1505153149509:dw|

loveboy:

find unit vector of b

loveboy:

okay! so i gotta go now i'll be back tomorrow see ya

xXMarcelieXx:

no lool

Nnesha:

B) \[\large\rm Proj_b v =\frac{ v \cdot b }{ \left| v \right|^2 } v=\color{red}{answer}\] \[\large\rm v-\color{red}{answer}= final~ answer\]

Nnesha:

later gtg

xXMarcelieXx:

wait which one is part a and b for that formula?

Nnesha:

for the perpendicular

Nnesha:

B)

Nnesha:

B) \[\large\rm Proj_b v =\frac{ v \cdot b }{ \left| v \right|^2 } v=\color{red}{answer}\] \[\large\rm v-\color{red}{answer}= final~ answer\] \[\large\rm \color{red}{v=<1,0,-1>}~~~~~\color{blue}{b=<1,2,-1>}\] first we need to find the projection of v on b use the above formula\[\large\rm Proj_\color{blue}{b} \color{red}{v}= \frac{ \color{red}{v}\cdot \color{blue}{b} }{ \left| \color{red}{v} \right|^2 } \color{Red}{v}\] \[\large\rm Proj_\color{blue}{b} \color{red}{v}= \frac{ \color{red}{<1,0,1>}\cdot \color{blue}{<1,2,-1>} }{ \left| \color{red}{<1,0,1>} \right|^2 } \color{Red}{<1,0,1>}\] Lets do the denominator first the magnitude of v square but when we take the magnitude it will be square root of v and that will cancel out with the square \[\left| v \right|^2 = (\sqrt{v})^2=v\] so \[\large\rm Proj_\color{blue}{b} \color{red}{v}= \frac{ \color{red}{<1,0,1>}\cdot \color{blue}{<1,2,-1>} }{ \color{red}{ 1^2+0^2+1^2}} \color{Red}{<1,0,1>}\] for numerator apply the dot product <1,0,1> dot <1,2,-1> = ???

Nnesha:

i don't think it asking if its orthogonal or not it just says find the orthogonal vector ?

xXMarcelieXx:

ohhh lol okay so i got < 1 ,0,-1> ?

Nnesha:

yes :=))

xXMarcelieXx:

yayy ^_^ so thats for part b and what about part a ?

xXMarcelieXx:

oh wait question my answer sheet doesnt match the answer D: she got

nnesha D:

Nnesha:

i see what i did wrong i forgot the negative sign

Nnesha:

https://prnt.sc/gk1q6v

Nnesha:

but still i didn't get that answer hmmmm le me see...

Nnesha:

ahhh projection of v on `b` so replace all b with v sorry

xXMarcelieXx:

yeah or unless she did a mistake

Nnesha:

okay hmm lets try again..

xXMarcelieXx:

okie

Nnesha:

\[\large\rm Proj_\color{blue}{b} \color{red}{v}= \frac{ \color{blue}{b}\cdot \color{red}{v} }{ \left| \color{blue}{b} \right|^2 } \color{blue}{b}\] \[\large\rm Proj_\color{blue}{b} \color{red}{v}= \frac{ \color{blue}{<1,2,-1>}\cdot \color{red}{<1,0,-1>} }{ \left| \color{blue}{<1,2,-1>} \right|^2 } \color{blue}{<1,2,-1>}\] \[=\frac{ 1+0+1 }{ 1^2 +2^2+(-1)^2} \times <1,2,-1>\]\[=\frac{ 2 }{ 6 }<1,2,-1>\]

xXMarcelieXx:

one sec im writing this down lol

xXMarcelieXx:

okay so then

Nnesha:

that's the projection now subtract it from vector v

Nnesha:

\[\frac{1}{3}<1,2,-1>=<\frac{1}{3},\frac{2}{3},-\frac{1}{3}>\]

xXMarcelieXx:

so then i got < 2/3 , -2/3 , -2/3>

Nnesha:

yeah :=))

xXMarcelieXx:

yay :D

xXMarcelieXx:

can you check my work for number 5 , bc her solution says they are parallel , but i think they orthogonal

Nnesha:

can u do 4a ?? parallel one ?

Nnesha:

yeah sure hurry up

Nnesha:

if the dot product =0
