Exercise 6.2.9
Answers
The orthonormal basis for is the set consisting of the normalized vector , . To find a basis for is to find a basis for the null space of the following system of equations
The basis would be . It’s lucky that it’s orthogonal. If it’s not, we should apply the Gram-Schmidt process to it. Now we get the orthonormal basis
by normalizing those elements in it.
