Consider a vector space V = R² and a subspace W = span{(1, 1)}. Find the orthogonal complement W⊥ and describe its geometric representation.
💡 Hint: Use the definition of orthogonality and visualize it graphically.
Let W be the set of vectors {(1, 2, 0), (1, 0, 1)} in R³. Determine W⊥ and provide a justification for your findings.
💡 Hint: You may want to set up a system of linear equations based on the orthogonality conditions.
