Answer: hello some part of your question is missing

Let v=〈−2,5〉 in R^2,and let y=〈0,3,−2〉 in R^3.

Find a unit vector u in R^2 such that u is perpendicular to v. How many such vectors are there?

answer:

One(1) unit vector ( < 5/√29,  2 /√29 >  ) perpendicular to 〈−2,5〉

Step-by-step explanation:

let  

u = < x , y > ∈/R^2  be perpendicular to  v = < -2, 5 > ------ ( 1 )

hence :

-2x + 5y = 0

-2x = -5y

x = 5/2 y

back to equation 1

u = < 5/2y, y >

∴ || u || = y/2 √29

u   = < 5 /2 y * 2 / y√29 ,  y*2 / y√29 >

    = < 5/√29,  2 /√29 >  ( unit vector perpendicular to < -2, 5 > )
