Hi Everyone,
I want to ask if I did this problem correctly.

Homework Statement


Find a orthogonal basis for subspace {[x y z]T|2x-y+z=0}


Homework Equations


X1= [3 2 -4]T, X2=[4 3 -5]T


The Attempt at a Solution


Gram-Schmidt:
F1=X1= [3 2 -4]
F2= X2- ((X2.F1)/||F1||2)F1= [4 3 -5]T + (26/29)[3 2 -4]T


Thanks in advance.

Hi, Thanks for replying, it's the result of:

(X2 . F1) / (||F1||2)

Attached is my work.

Yes, that is correct. You wrote X2 wrong in the OP :smile:
Appreciated.
