Step 1
First, we need to determine the dimension of the space onto which we want to project the vector. Let's say this space is a subspace of dimension k. Show more…

(a) If $P=P^{\mathrm{T}} P$, show that $P$ is a projection matrix. (b) What subspace does the matrix $P=0$ project onto?
Orthogonality
Projections and Least Squares
(a) Find the projection matrix $P_{1}$ onto the line through $a=\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 3\end{array}\right]$ and also the matr $P_{2}$ that projects onto the line perpendicular to $a$. (b) Compute $P_{1}+P_{2}$ and $P_{1} P_{2}$ and explain.
Cosines and Projections onto Lines
In Problem 17, find the projection matrix $P=a a^{\mathrm{T}} / a^{\mathrm{T}} a$ onto the line through each vector $a$. Verify in both cases that $P^{2}=P .$ Multiply $P b$ in each case to compute the projection $p$.
