The problem

Let U=span⁡{(1,0,1)}U = \operatorname{span}\{(1, 0, 1)\} and W={(x,y,z):x−y+z=0}W = \{(x, y, z): x - y + z = 0\} in R3\mathbb{R}^3. (a) Show R3=U⊕W\mathbb{R}^3 = U\oplus W. (b) Find the projection PP onto UU along WW. (c) Check P2=PP^2 = P and tr⁡P=1\operatorname{tr}P = 1.

Check U∩W=0U\cap W = 0 and the dimensions.
