^
k
as the sum of two vectors such that one is parallel to the vector
→
b
=
3
^
i
+
^
k
and the other is perpendicular to

i

Consider,
→
a
=

β
1
+
→
β
2
Where
→
β
1
is parallel to
→
b
and
→
β
2
is perpendicular to
→
b
Since,
→
β
1
is parallel to
→
b
Then,
→
β

=
λ
→
b
=
λ
(

+
^
k
)
=

Now,

=

β

=

)
−
(

λ

λ

→
β

λ
)
^

^
j

(

Since,
→
β
2
is perpendicular to
→
b
→
β

.
→
b
=

Then,

λ
)

(
−

(

λ
=

Therefore,

β

=

i

from

→
β

=

Hence,

a
