- Guided Proof Prove that if u is orthogonal to v and w, then u is orthogonal to cv+dw for any scalars c and d. Getting Started: To prove that u is orthogonal to cv+dw, you need to show that the dot product of u and cv+dw is 0. i Rewrite the dot product of u and cv+dw as a linear combination of (uv) and (uw) using Properties 2 and 3 of Theorem 5.3. ii Use the fact that u is orthogonal to v and w, and the result of part i, to lead to the conclusion that u is orthogonal to cv+dw.arrow_forward19-22Sketching VectorsSketch the given vector with initial point (4,3), and find the terminal point. u=1,2arrow_forwardVelocitySuppose that in Exercise 55 the current is flowing at 1.2 mi/hr due south. In what direction should the swimmer head in order to arrive at a landing point due east of his starting point? VelocityA river flows due south at 3mi/h. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 2mi/h relative to the water. Find the true velocity of the swimmer as a vector.arrow_forward
