The problem is to use the **Gram-Schmidt process** to find an orthogonal basis for the subspace \( U \), where:

\[
U = \text{span} \left\{ 
\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, 
\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, 
\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} 
\right\},
\]

and then find the vector in \( U \) closest to:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ -2 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix}.
\]

### Step 1: Apply the Gram-Schmidt Process
To orthogonalize the basis vectors \( v_1, v_2, v_3 \), we compute:

1. \( u_1 = v_1 \)
2. \( u_2 = v_2 - \text{proj}_{u_1}(v_2) \)
3. \( u_3 = v_3 - \text{proj}_{u_1}(v_3) - \text{proj}_{u_2}(v_3) \)

Where the projection of \( v \) onto \( u \) is:

\[
\text{proj}_{u}(v) = \frac{u^T v}{u^T u} u.
\]

The orthogonal basis will be \( \{ u_1, u_2, u_3 \} \).

### Step 2: Normalize the Basis (if Orthogonal Basis is Required)

Once orthogonalized, the basis can optionally be normalized to form an orthonormal basis by dividing each vector by its magnitude.

### Step 3: Find the Closest Vector
To find the vector in \( U \) closest to \( \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ -2 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix} \), we project this vector onto the subspace spanned by \( \{ u_1, u_2, u_3 \} \). Specifically:

\[
\text{Closest vector} = \text{proj}_{U} \left( \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ -2 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix} \right),
\]

which is the sum of projections onto each basis vector.

Use Gram-Schmidt to find an orthogonal basis for the subspace U where U = span { [0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 3] } and hence find the vector in U closest to [3, -2, -2].
