Gram Schmidt procedure

enter image description here



For the subspace on the left in the image I am to find an orthogonal basis for the subspace. The answer is to the right in the image, and when I follow the procedure I get those vectors, however I also get one vector to be (0, 0, -120/15, 0). Why is that not included in the basis?

  • Are you trying to find an orthogonal basis for the subspace spanned by the vectors on the left (which is $3$-dimensional)? Or the orthogonal complement (which is $1$-dimensional)?

In the third step, $mathbb{S}_2=mathrm{span}{v_1,v_2}$ also equals $mathbb{S}_2=mathrm{span}{w_1,w_2}$. The Gram-Schmidt process produces a vector $v_3=mathrm{perp}_{mathbb{S}_2}w_3in mathbb{S}_2^perp$ with $mathrm{span}{v_1,v_2,v_3}=mathrm{span}{w_1,w_2,w_3}$. Since $v_3=0$,
$$
mathrm{span}{w_1,w_2,w_3}=mathrm{span}{v_1,v_2,v_3}=mathrm{span}{v_1,v_2,0}=mathrm{span}{v_1,v_2}=mathrm{span}{w_1,w_2}.
$$
Therefore, $w_3inmathrm{span}{w_1,w_2}=mathbb{S}_2$.

  • Thank you David! Is this just because w3 gives the zero vector and therefore can be left out? Im guessing not because then why would (0,0,-120,0) from the example not be in the basis? If you are tired of explaining thank you for your time!
