Final answer:
To find an orthonormal basis of U, we need to first find a basis of U, and then use the Gram-Schmidt process to orthogonalize and normalize the vectors in the basis.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find an orthonormal basis of U, we need to first find a basis of U, and then use the Gram-Schmidt process to orthogonalize and normalize the vectors in the basis. Let's start by finding the basis of U.
The given vectors are v1 = [1, 1, 1, 1] and v2 = [-2, 4, -2, 4]. Since they are linearly independent, they form a basis for U.
Next, we can use the Gram-Schmidt process to orthogonalize and normalize the basis vectors. Let's denote the orthogonalized basis vectors as u1 and u2.
Step 1: Set u1 = v1.
Step 2: Subtract the projection of v2 onto u1 from v2. Let's denote this projection as p.
Step 3: Set u2 = v2 - p.
Finally, normalize the orthogonalized basis vectors by dividing each vector by its magnitude. This will give us the orthonormal basis vectors.
