Step 1
The dot product of two vectors u and v is given by the formula: u · v = u1v1 + u2v2 + u3v3, where u1, u2, u3 are the components of vector u and v1, v2, v3 are the components of vector v. Let's calculate the dot product of the vectors 1, 2, 3: 1 · 2 = (1)(2) + Show more…

Show that if $\mathbf{v}_{1}, \mathbf{v}_{2},$ and $\mathbf{v}_{3}$ are mutually orthogonal nonzero vectors in 3 -space, and if a vector $\mathbf{v}$ in 3 -space is expressed as $$ \mathbf{v}=c_{1} \mathbf{v}_{1}+c_{2} \mathbf{v}_{2}+c_{3} \mathbf{v}_{3} $$then the scalars $c_{1}, c_{2},$ and $c_{3}$ are given by the formulas$$ c_{i}=\left(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{v}_{i}\right) /\left\|\mathbf{v}_{i}\right\|^{2}, \quad i=1,2,3 $$
