    How Do Orthogonal Vectors Determine Unique Scalar Coefficients?

    First, because I couldn't solve this ploblem, I am here.. I know what orthogonal means..I wrote equations for dot product..But I have no idea how to show there are unique scalars? or why there are unique scalars x,y, and z??

    How Do Orthogonal Vectors Determine Unique Scalar Coefficients?

    hello..I thought about using dot product.But I couldn't apply to this problem..and I think the main problem is that I can't imagine this question in my head.. could you please give me the solution(just to understand the the process)..and also solution methods for these "show that or prove that"...
