So I have an exercise which gives my me this subspace : $U = {(x,y,z) ∈ R^3: x - y - z = 0 \text{ and } x + y + z = 0}$
and i have to determine the orthogonal projection of $(3,0,-1)$ which i did, which is $(0,1/2,-1/2)$.
the problem is that I also need to determine the distance between $(3,0,-1)$ and $U$.
I think this should be the magnitude of $(3,0,-1) - (0,1/2,-1/2)$ which gives $\sqrt{\frac{19}{2}}$ but the answer given is $\frac{\sqrt{38}}{2}$. Where did I go wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Nothing. $\sqrt{\frac{19}{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{38}}{2}$
