1.1.45 Vector Algebra

condition: In a rectangular basis \( B=(i, j, k) \) the vector \( a \) has a decomposition \( a=-2 i+j-k \). Make sure that the triple of vectors \[ i^{\prime}=i, j^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} j-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} k, \quad k^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} j+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} k \] also forms a rectangular basis \( B^{\prime}=\left(i^{\prime}, j^{\prime}, k^{\prime}\right) \), and find the coordinates of the vector \( a \) in this basis.

Vector algebra is a branch of algebra that studies linear operations on vectors and their geometric properties. In the section you will find problems on the decomposition of vectors, scalar, vector and mixed products, coordinates of vectors in different bases and much more.
