Homework Statement
I am part way done with this problem... I don't know how to solve part e or part f. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now.
W={<x,y,z>, x+y+z=0} is a plane and T is the orthogonal projection on it.
a) Find the basis of {v1, v2} for this subspace.
b) These basis vectors are basis vectors for what eigenvalue?
c) Show that n=<1,1,1> is orthogonal to {v1 ,v2}
d) Show that n is orthogonal to all of W
e) n is an eigenvector for T for what eigenvalue
f) Using matrix with eigenvectors and one for eigenvalues, find the standard matrix of T.

The Attempt at a Solution
I am part way done with this problem... I don't know how to solve part e or part f.
W={<x,y,z>, x+y+z=0} is a plane and T is the orthogonal projection on it.
a) Find the basis of {v1, v2} for this subspace.
I found the basis of W to be v1=<-1,1,0> and v2=<-1,0,1>
b) These basis vectors are basis vectors for what eigenvalue?
I found the eigenvalue to be zero after multiplying W with v1 and v2.
c) Show that n=<1,1,1> is orthogonal to {v1 ,v2}
I just took the dot product of n*v1 and n*v2 and both were zero
d) Show that n is orthogonal to all of W
My reasoning is that n is orthogonal to all of W because W is a linear combination of {v1 ,v2}
e) n is an eigenvector for T for what eigenvalue
?
f) Using matrix with eigenvectors and one for eigenvalues, find the standard matrix of T.
