Let u, v and w be vectors in Rn,
and let c be a scalar. Then
a) u v v u

c) (cu) v c (uv ) u (cv )
d) u u 0, and u u 0 iff u=0.

The length (or norm) of v is
the nonnegative scalar v

v v v
For any scalar c,
cv c v
A vector whose length is 1.
If we divide a nonzero vector
v by its length v , we obtain a
unit vector u because the
length of u is
1 v v …
The process of creating u
from v is sometimes called
normalizing v, and we say
that u is in the same
direction as v.
Let v = (1,–2, 2, 0).
Find a unit vector
u in the same
direction as v.
Let W be the subspace
of R spanned by
2
x = (2/3, 1).
Find a unit vector z
that is a basis for W.
For u and v in Rn, the distance
between u and v, written as
dist(u, v), is the length of the
vector u – v. That is,
dist(u, v ) u v
Compute the distance
between the vectors
u = (7, 1) and v = (3, 2).

Two vectors u and v in Rn
are orthogonal (to each
other) if
u v 0
The zero vector is
orthogonal to every

If a vector z is
orthogonal to every
vector in a subspace W
of R , then z is said to be
n
orthogonal to W. …
The set of all vectors z
that are orthogonal to W
is called the orthogonal
complement of W and is
denoted by W .
(1) A vector x is in W if and
only if x is orthogonal to
every vector in a set that
spans W.
(2) W is a subspace of R .
