It is required that kF~2 + F~3 k = 16, so that 20 cos θ2 = 16, or θ = 2 arccos(0.8) ≈ 74◦ .
5.1.14 The horizontal components of F~1 and F~2 are −kF~1 k sin β and kF~2 k sin α, respectively (the horizontal compo-
nent of F~3 is zero).
Since the system is at rest, the horizontal components must add up to 0, so that −kF~1 k sin β + kF~2 k sin α = 0 or

5.1.16 You may be able to find the solutions by educated guessing. Here is the systematic approach: we first find
all vectors ~x that are orthogonal to ~v1 , ~v2 , and ~v3 , then we identify the unit vectors among them.
Finding the vectors ~x with ~x · ~v1 = ~x · ~v2 = ~x · ~v3 = 0 amounts to solving the system
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 0

5.1.21 Call the three given vectors ~v1 , ~v2 , and ~v3 . Since ~v2 is required to be a unit vector, we must have b = g = 0.
Now ~v1 · ~v2 = d must be zero, so that d = 0.

There are other solutions; some components will have different signs.
5.1.22 Let W = {~x in Rn : ~x · ~vi = 0 for all i = 1, . . . , m}. We are asked to show that V ⊥ = W , that is, any ~x in
V ⊥ is in W , and vice versa.
If ~x is in V ⊥ , then ~x · ~v = 0 for all ~v in V ; in particular, x · ~vi = 0 for all i (since the ~vi are in V ), so that ~x is in
W.
Conversely, consider a vector ~x in W . To show that ~x is in V ⊥ , we have to verify that ~x · ~v = 0 for all ~v in V .
Pick a particular ~v in V . Since the ~vi span V , we can write ~v = c1~v1 + · · · + cm~vm , for some scalars ci . Then
~x · ~v = c1 (~x · ~v1 ) + · · · + cm (~x · ~vm ) = 0, as claimed.
5.1.23 We will follow the hint. Let ~v be a vector in V . Then ~v · ~x = 0 for all ~x in V ⊥ . Since (V ⊥ )⊥ contains all
vectors ~y such that ~y · ~x = 0, ~v is in (V ⊥ )⊥ . So V is a subspace of (V ⊥ )⊥ .
Then, by Theorem 5.1.8c, dim (V ) + dim(V ⊥ ) = n and dim(V ⊥ ) + dim((V ⊥ )⊥ ) = n, so dim (V ) + dim(V ⊥ ) =
dim(V ⊥ ) + dim((V ⊥ )⊥ ) and dim (V ) = dim((V ⊥ )⊥ ). Since V is a subspace of (V ⊥ )⊥ , it follows that V = (V ⊥ )⊥ ,
by Exercise 3.3.61.
To prove the linearity of T we will use the definition of a projection: T (~x) is in V , and ~x − T (~x) is in V ⊥ .
To show that T (~x + ~y ) = T (~x) + T (~y ), note that T (~x) + T (~y ) is in V (since V is a subspace), and ~x + ~y − (T (~x) +
T (~y )) = (~x − T (~x)) + (~y − T (~y )) is in V ⊥ (since V ⊥ is a subspace, by Theorem 5.1.8a).
To show that T (k~x) = kT (~x), note that kT (~x) is in V (since V is a subspace), and k~x − kT (~x) = k(~x − T (~x)) is
in V ⊥ (since V ⊥ is a subspace).

5.1.30 Since ~y = projV ~x, the vector ~x − ~y is orthogonal to ~y , by definition of an orthogonal projection (see Theo-

5.1.31 If V = span(~u1 , . . . , ~um ), then projV ~x = (~u1 · ~x)~u1 + · · · + (~um · ~x)~um , by Theorem 5.1.5, and kprojV ~xk2 =
(~u1 ·~x)2 +· · ·+(~um ·~x)2 = p, by the Pythagorean theorem (Theorem 5.1.9). Therefore p ≤ k~xk2 , by Theorem 5.1.10.
The two quantities are equal if (and only if) ~x is in V .
5.1.32 By Theorem 2.4.9a, the matrix G is invertible if (and only if) (~v1 · ~v1 )(~v2 · ~v2 ) − (~v1 · ~v2 )2

(~v1 · ~v2 )2 ≥ 0; equality holds if (and only if) ~v1 and ~v2 are parallel (that is, linearly dependent).

(all n components are √ 1). The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality (Theorem 5.1.11) tells us that |~x · ~y | ≤ k~xkk~y k, or,
|x1 + · · · + xn | ≤ k~xk n, or k~xk ≥ √1n . By Theorem 5.1.11, the equation k~xk = √1n holds if (and only if)
the vectors ~x and ~y are parallel, that is, x1 = x2 = · · · = xn = n1 . Thus the vector of minimal length is

5.1.36 Let ~x = b and ~y = 0.3 . It is required that ~x · ~y = 0.2a + 0.3b + 0.5c = 76. Our goal is to minimize
c 0.5
quantity ~x · ~x = a2 + b2 + c2 . The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality (squared) tells us that (~x · ~y )2 ≤ k~xk2 k~y k2 , or
762
762 ≤ (a2 + b2 + c2 )(0.22 + 0.32 + 0.52 ) or a2+ b2 + c2 ≥ 0.38 2 2 2
. The quantity a + b + c is minimal when

762
a2 + b2 + c2 = 0.38 . This is the case when ~x = b = 0.3k for some positive constant k. It is required that
c 0.5k
0.2a + 0.3b + 0.5c = (0.2)2 k + (0.3)2 k + (0.5)2 k = 0.38k = 76, so that k = 200. Thus a = 40, b = 60, c = 100: The
student must study 40 hours for the first exam, 60 hours for the second, and 100 hours for the third.
5.1.37 Using Definition 2.2.2 as a guide, we find that ref V ~x = 2(projV~x) − ~x = 2(~u1 · ~x)~u1 + 2(~u2 · ~x)~u2 − ~x.
5.1.38 Since ~v1 and ~v2 are unit vectors, the condition ~v1 · ~v2 = k~v1 kk~v2 k cos(α) = cos(α) = 12 implies that ~v1 and ~v2
enclose an angle of 60◦ = π3 . The vectors ~v1 and ~v3 enclose an angle of 60◦ as well.
In the case n = 2 there are two possible scenarios: either ~v2 = ~v3 , or ~v2 and ~v3 enclose an angle of 120◦ . Therefore,
either ~v2 · ~v3 = 1 or ~v2 · ~v3 = cos(120◦ ) = − 21 .
In the case n = 3, the vectors ~v2 and ~v3 could enclose any angle between 0◦ (if ~v2 = ~v3 ) and 120◦ , as illustrated
in Figure 5.7. We have − 12 ≤ ~v2 · ~v3 ≤ 1.

This implies that ∠(~v2 , ~v3 ) is between 0◦ and 120◦ as well. To see that all these values are attained, add (n − 3)

equation in two unknowns, 9c2 + 20c3 = 5, and 20c2 + 49c3 = 11, with the solution c2 = 41 and c3 = − 41 . Thus

the answer is 41 ~v2 − 41 ~v3 .
5.1.46 Write the projection as a linear combination of ~v1 and ~v2 : c1~v1 + c2~v2 . Now we want ~v3 − c1~v1 + c2~v2 to be

let rij = aij and qii = 1. Furthermore, qij = 0 if i 6= j (that is, Q is diagonal).

Then, A1 = Q1 R1 is the QR factorization of A1 : note that the columns of A1 are orthonormal, and R1 is upper

5.2.44 No! If m exceeds n, then there is no n × m matrix Q with orthonormal columns (if the columns of a matrix

5.2.45 Yes. Let A = [ ~v1 · · · ~vm ]. The idea is to perform the Gram-Schmidt process in reversed order, starting
with ~um = k~v1m k ~vm .
Then we can express ~vj as a linear combination of ~uj , . . . , ~um , so that [ ~v1 · · · ~vj · · · ~vm ] = [ ~u1 · · · ~uj · · · ~um ] L

5.3.19 This matrix is symmetric. First note that (A2 )T = (AT )2 = A2 for a symmetric matrix A. Now we can use
the linearity of the transpose, (2In + 3A − 4A2 )T = 2InT + 3AT − (4A2 )T = 2In + 3A − 4(AT )2 = 2In + 3A − 4A2 .

The transformation L preserves right angles (the proof of Theorem 5.3.2 applies), so that the columns of A are
orthonormal (since they are L(~e1 ), . . . , L(~em )).
Since the vectors ~v1 , . . . , ~vm form an orthonormal basis of im(A), the matrix AAT represents the orthogonal

voyage is over, they separate, with no expectation of ever meeting

another time.
All the children on board are sure to make friends with each other;
and they have plenty of room to play on the long decks, and in the
saloons, without interfering with the comfort of older persons.
THE SALOON OF THE GREAT EASTERN.
It would be a delightful thing to take a voyage on such a
magnificent steamer as this. Apart from the pleasure that the ship
itself, with all its great machinery and its splendid appointments
would afford, there would be the satisfaction of knowing that there is
some chance of escaping sea-sickness when on board of the Great
Eastern.
And any one who ever has been sea-sick would be very apt to
appreciate the advantages of a vessel that does not pitch and toss
on every ordinary wave.
KANGAROOS.
AN AURORA BOREALIS.
The boys could not have described the scene to give you any idea
of it, as I have tried to do, but they enjoyed it. It never occurred to
them to ask what it was, or where it came from. They accepted it as
they did their six months’ day and night, and great snows, and
volcanoes, and all the other forms of Nature. If they thought about it
at all, they probably supposed that all the world was just like
Greenland.
After a little while they grew tired of the Aurora, and turned their
attention once more to the traps. Polargno’s were on a point of land,
shielded somewhat by a large rock. He had no less than four, and he
usually found them all empty. As the boys silently approached this
rock they caught sight of an animal, which was circling about the
outside of one of the traps. All saw it at the same instant, and all
knew it to be one of the most valuable of their Arctic animals. Their
seal-skin boots had made no noise on the smooth ice, and the
animal was not aware of their approach. They were not on his
windward side, and therefore he was not likely to detect them by
scent. The boys stood still behind the rock, and cautiously peered
around it, watching every movement of the creature. They were
afraid to draw a long breath lest he should hear them.
Polargno’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. Here was a prize
indeed! This was a fine Arctic fox, and he had never caught so
valuable an animal! It was seldom that anybody did, for the Arctic fox
is quite as wise and cautious as his brethren of warmer climes. He
imagined himself returning to the village with this trophy, and thought
with pride of the excitement he would cause, and how the people
would gather around him, and congratulate him, and how the fur
traders would praise him. And then he began to think what fine
things he would get from them in exchange for the skin.
But still he was anxious; for, all this time, the animal was on the
wrong side of the trap. If he did not go inside of it, farewell to
Polargno’s visions, for the boys had no guns, and they would not
have done much with them, if they had had them, for they were not
skilful in the use of firearms. The animal was evidently suspicious of
the fir boughs thrown so carelessly down, and lightly covered with
snow; but he was also very hungry, and eager for the food under this
arrangement. His hunger proved too great for his prudence, and,
after investigating the trap on all sides, and thinking over the matter
for a time that seemed very long to the watching boys, he cautiously
placed one foot over the spot where the bait lay. This was enough.
Click went a wooden spring, concealed among the branches, and
down went the fox through a wooden trap underneath, that snapped
together again, and shut him in.
“Hi,” cried Polargno, as he rushed out from behind the rock,
followed by both boys. But he was in too great a hurry. He stumbled
over a stone. His feet went up into the air, and his back and head
went crashing down into the trap, sending fir boughs and splints of
wood flying in all directions.
The fox snapped at him, but, fortunately missed his face; and
having snipped a little piece out of the boy’s ear, evidently came to
the conclusion that running away was better than revenge. He
therefore ran over Polargno’s prostrate body, and up his elevated
legs, and, making a tremendous spring from the quivering feet, he
darted away at his utmost speed.
The boys left Polargno to get out of his trap as best he could, and
immediately gave chase to the fox. But they knew it was useless.
They might as well try to catch the wind. If they had brought the dogs
the fox would probably have had the worst of it. But, as it was, he
escaped—hungry, but safe.
This was Polargno’s adventure with the fox.
The next summer, Polargno had a very surprising adventure with a
seal. He was in a cave alone on the bay. He had paddled out a short
distance from the shore because he had nothing else to do just then.
He paddled up and down until he got tired, and then he rested on his
oars, and looked about him. The scene was very different from what
it had been when he and the fox had caught each other. Now the bay
was entirely free from ice, and the waves leaped and danced as if
rejoicing to be free once more. There was not a cloud in the sky,
where the sun shone brightly far above the horizon in the same
place, apparently, that it had been for several days and nights.
Flowers bloomed in the grassy fields, birds perched upon the rocks,
and the noise of insects could be faintly heard.
SUMMER-TIME.
But a Greenlander is never free from the sight of snow; and, even
now, in mid-summer, every high mountain peak had its white cap;
and on the tallest mountains the snow extended far down the sides.
Polargno took pleasure in the summer warmth and life, but I do not
suppose he thought much about the objects he saw around him. His
mind was busy with the prospect of the good time he would have
when two whaling ships that were cruising some miles below in the
bay, should come up as high as their settlement. There was a report,
too, that a large school of whales was making its way northward.
Thinking of these things while he idly looked about him, he
suddenly felt that he was being lifted into the air. Before he could
recover from his surprise at this rapid elevation he found that his
canoe was being borne swiftly over the surface of the water.
Instinctively he tightened his hold upon the paddle that he might not
lose it, and this action caused one end of it to strike an animal under
the boat, which immediately flapped itself free, and rolled off to a
little distance, where it remained, as motionless as a log, evidently
waiting to see what would happen next.
The thing that came near happening was the upsetting of
Polargno’s canoe, for the blow it received from the flap of the
creature’s tail sent it spinning around like a top. Polargno would not
have been much alarmed if it had upset, for he could swim like a
fish; but still he was very glad it remained right side up.
As soon as he could gather together his scattered wits he found
that the animal which had given him this unceremonious ride was not
a sea-lion, as he had at first supposed, but a large specimen of the
common seal. Its bouncing up under his boat was an
unpremeditated act on the part of the seal, who was quite as much
alarmed as the boy, and quite as glad to get away.
But should he get away? This question came into Polargno’s mind.
The Esquimaux boats at this season were kept prepared for whaling
expeditions, and in the bow of this one there laid a harpoon with a
nice long coil of rope. The boy glanced from this to the shining back
of the seal that lay so temptingly just above the surface of the water.
He knew all about seals. He had helped kill many a one. That was
very different from fighting one entirely alone, but then the glory
would be so much greater if he conquered.
A seal is a timid animal, but when brought to bay it can fight boldly
and fiercely enough, and Polargno knew well that there was a
chance of his coming to grief if he once began the combat. But then
again the glory was so much the greater if he conquered.
He wished to wipe out the memory of his ridiculous adventure with
the Arctic fox, which had brought upon him the laughter of the whole
village, and was a joke against him to that very day.
These thoughts passed swiftly through his mind, and he made his
determination. He cautiously paddled towards the seal, but this act
alarmed the creature, and it sank into the water out of sight.
Polargno knew it would come up again to breathe, and he uncoiled
the harpoon line, and held the weapon all prepared to throw.
Meantime the canoe drifted down to the very spot where the seal
had sunk, and Polargno looked down into the deep green water,
thinking he might see it coming up. But it rose in an entirely different
place, on the other side of the boat, and at quite a distance.
Polargno was by no means sure of his aim in making such a long
throw; but, putting himself into the attitude he had seen experienced
harpooners assume, he sent the harpoon whizzing through the air
with a straight, steady motion that carried it with a wide sweeping
curved line into the back of the seal, just above the tail.
Down into the water went the animal with a rush that made
Polargno’s canoe reel and dance. If it had been a small whale, or
even a sea-lion, that the boy had undertaken to capture in this
fashion, it would have dragged down the canoe, harpoon, rope, and
all, leaving to Polargno the pleasant task of swimming home and
telling the news. But the seal was not quite strong enough for this,
though it did its best; and, each time that it rose to the surface after
“sounding,” Polargno wound the line tighter and tighter around the
strong supports to which it was fastened. In this way he brought the
seal nearer and nearer the canoe. By the time its strength was pretty
well spent it had so short a line that it could dive only a few feet
below the surface. And then Polargno began to wonder how he
should get it to the shore when it was dead. It would be too heavy a
body for him to manage alone, and there was no one in sight on the
shore to whom he could call for help. He did not wish to cut the body
adrift, for then he was not likely to get it again.
Suddenly there flashed into his mind a brilliant thought. The seal
should take itself to the shore, and take him too! He seated himself
firmly in the boat, and took up the paddle. With this he hit the seal a
whack on the side, and, in darting away to the opposite direction
from the blow, the animal headed for the shore. It could not dive, but
it made a grand rush through the water, drawing the boat swiftly
along. A few such rushes brought it to the shore. Whenever it made
a turn to the right or left, the paddle reminded it to keep the straight
path. Polargno had never heard of Neptune’s chariot with its dolphin
steeds, and was therefore unconscious that he was working out a
poetical idea, but he was very proud of the success of his stratagem,
especially as it possessed an element of danger. If his charger had
taken it into its head to back against the boat, and to give it a blow
with its tail, it would have stove it in, and if it had given Polargno a
whack at the same time it would probably have killed him. But the
seal was too weak from loss of blood, or too ignorant to think of any
such revenge, and rushed upon the beach at last, dragging
Polargno’s boat up with such violence that he was shot out of it in a
twinkling.
He fell upon the soft sand and was not hurt. When he stood upon
his feet he found that his father, and one of the neighbors had come
to the shore to look after the boats, and had witnessed the last part
of his extraordinary journey. He was very glad of this, for he had
thought his story would not be believed in the village.
The seal was soon killed, and yielded a good deal of oil and
blubber.
After this, the people of the village looked upon Polargno as a very
clever and brave fellow, and they laughed at him no more about the
trick the fox had played him.
FROZEN UP.
By that time the whales were gone, and the vessel was full, and
they were really on the point of departure, when, unfortunately, there
came upon them a few days of excessively cold weather that was
very unusual so early in the season. In a short time the bay was
frozen, and the vessel tightly enclosed in the ice. The sailors now
began seriously to fear that they would have to winter in that dreadful
climate, when, to their joy, the weather moderated somewhat, and
the ice broke up. They soon found, however, that this condition of
things was worse than the other, for there was great danger of the
ship being crushed by the huge masses of loose ice that pressed
upon it on every side. The crew worked hard to save the ship, but it
