Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the vectors \(v_1 = (2, -1, 1)\) and \(v_2 = (1, 3, -2)\), apply the Gram-Schmidt process to create the orthonormal basis.

💡 Hint: Break down the steps: normalization, projection, and adjust.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using the orthonormal basis computed from previous vectors, solve for the coefficients of a given vector \(w = (0, 0, 1)\) in that basis.

💡 Hint: Remember, the coefficients will tell how much of each unit vector is present.
