I let u = the first vector and v = the second vector. The vectors are orthornormal, except for the fact that they are not unitvectors. So I divided by the magnitude which is 3 for both vectors. So modified, i get 1/3u and 1/3v. I know that the formula forthis particular orthogonal projection is:

This would mean that:

9e1=[9 0 0 0] (in R4)

and the other dot product is -6.
However, in the book the answer is 2u - 2v. Why is my dot product off by a factor of 3?
You divided by 3 in the beginning, so at the end, you must divide by 3 again.
Actually, your answer is correct. 6u - 6v = <8,0,2,-2>, which is the answer in my textbook (Otto Bretscher, 5th edition)

Find the orthogonal projection of v ⃗=(-7, -9, -6, 10) onto he subspace W spanned by{(-2, -2, -3, 4),(-3, -1, 4, -2)}. I posted this question to my instructor: "I have tried to use the calculation (v*u1)/(u1*u1)+(v*u2)/(u2*u2) and my result is [-223/55 -823/165 -1658/165 1954/165]" and got this reply: "You can only use the dot product formula if the basis vectors are orthogonal. In this case, they aren't."

Problem 2. Recall that for any subspace V of R", the orthogonal projection onto V is the map projy : RM → Rn given by projy() = il for all i ER", where Ill is the unique element in V such that i-le Vt.
