From the image, the question asks you to find the third vector $\mathbf{v}_3$ when applying the Gram-Schmidt process to construct an orthogonal set $\mathbf{v}_1, \mathbf{v}_2, \mathbf{v}_3$, starting with the given vectors:

$\mathbf{x}_1 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{x}_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}.$

To answer the question, note that the Gram-Schmidt process ensures that $\mathbf{v}_3$ is orthogonal to both $\mathbf{v}_1$ and $\mathbf{v}_2$.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Normalize $\mathbf{v}_1$: $\mathbf{v}_1 = \frac{\mathbf{x}_1}{\|\mathbf{x}_1\|}, \quad \|\mathbf{x}_1\| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 4^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{17}.$ Thus, $\mathbf{v}_1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}.$

2. Find $\mathbf{v}_2$: $\mathbf{v}_2$ is obtained by subtracting the projection of $\mathbf{x}_3$ onto $\mathbf{v}_1$ from $\mathbf{x}_3$. The projection formula is: $\text{proj}_{\mathbf{v}_1} \mathbf{x}_3 = \frac{\mathbf{x}_3 \cdot \mathbf{v}_1}{\mathbf{v}_1 \cdot \mathbf{v}_1} \mathbf{v}_1.$ Compute: $\mathbf{x}_3 \cdot \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} = \frac{-4 + 16 + 0}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{12}{\sqrt{17}}.$ The projection becomes: $\text{proj}_{\mathbf{v}_1} \mathbf{x}_3 = \frac{12}{17} \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}.$ Subtract this projection from $\mathbf{x}_3$ to find $\mathbf{v}_2$: $\mathbf{v}_2 = \mathbf{x}_3 - \text{proj}_{\mathbf{v}_1} \mathbf{x}_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} - \frac{12}{17} \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}.$ Simplify: $\mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 4 + \frac{12}{17} \\ 4 - \frac{48}{17} \\ -1 - 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{80}{17} \\ \frac{20}{17} \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}.$

3. Normalize $\mathbf{v}_2$: Compute the norm of $\mathbf{v}_2$: $\|\mathbf{v}_2\| = \sqrt{\left(\frac{80}{17}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{20}{17}\right)^2 + (-1)^2}.$ Normalize $\mathbf{v}_2$: $\mathbf{v}_2 = \frac{\mathbf{v}_2}{\|\mathbf{v}_2\|}.$

4. Find $\mathbf{v}_3$: The vector $\mathbf{v}_3$ is orthogonal to both $\mathbf{v}_1$ and $\mathbf{v}_2$. Repeat the Gram-Schmidt process by subtracting projections of $\mathbf{x}_3$ onto $\mathbf{v}_1$ and $\mathbf{v}_2$. After ensuring orthogonality, normalize $\mathbf{v}_3$.
