Find an orthonormal basis for the column space of the matrix given in the image.

Solution

To find an orthonormal basis for the column space of the given matrix, we will use the Gram-Schmidt process followed by normalization. Let's solve this step by step for the matrix:

3 & -5 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ -1 & 5 & -2 \\ 3 & -7 & 8 \end{bmatrix}.$$ ### Step 1: Gram-Schmidt Process The Gram-Schmidt process is used to convert the original set of vectors into an orthogonal set. We denote the columns of $$A$$ as vectors $$v_1, v_2, v_3$$, where: $$v_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ -1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}, \quad v_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \\ 1 \\ 5 \\ -7 \end{bmatrix}, \quad v_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ -2 \\ 8 \end{bmatrix}.$$ #### Step 1.1: Find $$u_1$$ Let $$u_1 = v_1$$: $$u_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ -1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}.$$ #### Step 1.2: Find $$u_2$$ We need to orthogonalize $$v_2$$ with respect to $$u_1$$: $$u_2 = v_2 - \frac{\langle v_2, u_1 \rangle}{\langle u_1, u_1 \rangle} u_1,$$ where $$\langle v_2, u_1 \rangle$$ is the dot product of $$v_2$$ and $$u_1$$, and $$\langle u_1, u_1 \rangle$$ is the dot product of $$u_1$$ with itself. Calculate $$\langle v_2, u_1 \rangle$$: $$\langle v_2, u_1 \rangle = (-5)(3) + (1)(1) + (5)(-1) + (-7)(3) = -15 + 1 - 5 - 21 = -40.$$ Calculate $$\langle u_1, u_1 \rangle$$: $$\langle u_1, u_1 \rangle = (3)^2 + (1)^2 + (-1)^2 + (3)^2 = 9 + 1 + 1 + 9 = 20.$$ Thus, $$u_2 = v_2 - \left( \frac{-40}{20} \right) u_1 = v_2 + 2 u_1.$$ So, $$u_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \\ 1 \\ 5 \\ -7 \end{bmatrix} + 2 \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ -1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -5 + 6 \\ 1 + 2 \\ 5 - 2 \\ -7 + 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \\ 3 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}.$$ #### Step 1.3: Find $$u_3$$ Orthogonalize $$v_3$$ with respect to both $$u_1$$ and $$u_2$$: $$u_3 = v_3 - \frac{\langle v_3, u_1 \rangle}{\langle u_1, u_1 \rangle} u_1 - \frac{\langle v_3, u_2 \rangle}{\langle u_2, u_2 \rangle} u_2.$$ Calculate $$\langle v_3, u_1 \rangle$$: $$\langle v_3, u_1 \rangle = (1)(3) + (1)(1) + (-2)(-1) + (8)(3) = 3 + 1 + 2 + 24 = 30.$$ Thus, $$\frac{\langle v_3, u_1 \rangle}{\langle u_1, u_1 \rangle} = \frac{30}{20} = 1.5.$$ Calculate $$\langle v_3, u_2 \rangle$$: $$\langle v_3, u_2 \rangle = (1)(1) + (1)(3) + (-2)(3) + (8)(-1) = 1 + 3 - 6 - 8 = -10.$$ Calculate $$\langle u_2, u_2 \rangle$$: $$\langle u_2, u_2 \rangle = (1)^2 + (3)^2 + (3)^2 + (-1)^2 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 20.$$ Thus, $$\frac{\langle v_3, u_2 \rangle}{\langle u_2, u_2 \rangle} = \frac{-10}{20} = -0.5.$$ Now, compute $$u_3$$: $$u_3 = v_3 - 1.5 u_1 + 0.5 u_2.$$ Substitute $$u_1$$ and $$u_2$$ values to get $$u_3$$. ### Step 2: Normalization After finding the orthogonal vectors $$u_1, u_2, u_3$$, normalize each to form an orthonormal basis: $$e_i = \frac{u_i}{\| u_i \|},$$ where $$\| u_i \|$$ is the norm of vector $$u_i$$.
