Let a = i + 2j -2k and b = 2i - j - 2k be two vectors. If the orthogonal projection vector of a on b is x and orthogonal projection vector of b on a is y then |x - y| =
Added by Tanner C.
Step 1
To find the orthogonal projection of vector a on vector b, we use the formula: \[ x = \frac{a \cdot b}{||b||^2} b \] First, calculate the dot product \( a \cdot b \): \[ a \cdot b = (i + 2j - 2k) \cdot (2i - j - 2k) = 1 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot (-1) + (-2) \cdot (-2) = 2 Show more…
