Let P : R^4 -> R^4 be the skew-projection onto the plane W = {3x - 2y - 2z + 2t = 0} parallel to the vector (1, 2, -2, -1). Find the matrix M_E^E(P) of the projection P relative to the standard basis of R^4.
Let u = (2,-1,3) and v = (1,-1,1). Find the projection of u onto v and call this vector w. Show that u - w is orthogonal to v. Represent the vector u as the sum of two vectors, one which is parallel to v and one which is orthogonal to v. Consider the points: A(3,2,-1), B(2,3,0) and C(2,-1,1). Determine whether the angle ABC is right, acute or obtuse. Find all unit vectors that are perpendicular to the plane that contains these three points. Find the area of the triangle with these three points as its vertices. Suppose that u and v are two vectors with |u| = 1, |v| = 3 and u · v = 2. Compute |u - v|. Compute |(u - 3v) × v|.
