whats the meaning of orthogonal component?

Answer 1

The component of the vector which represents the direction orthogonal (or perpendicular) to the vector in question

Answer 2

In the mathematical fields of linear algebra and functional analysis, the orthogonal complement W1 of a subspace W of an inner product space V is the set of all vectors in V that are orthogonal to every vector in W (Wikipedia)

Answer 3

The dot product of any pair is zero, or all orthogonal components are perpendicular to each other.

Answer 4

Orthoganal means perpendicular. So the orthoganal component is that part which is perpendicular to something. For example If line segment AB meets a line L at a 45 degree angle at point B, then the orthoganal component of line segment AB would the perpendicular from point A to line L.

Answer 5

say in this pic you want the orthogonal (aka perpendicular aka normal) component of line B to line A.

....../ B
...../
__/____________ A

draw a perpendicular line that goes from A to the tip of B



...../| B
..../ |
__/_|__________ A


This new line that I just drew is the orthogonal component.

Answer 6

they are the values of (x,y,z) in an orthogonal scale

Answer 7

dude ,u have posted your question on different category It should be in Mathematics By the way eigen values found from matrix or determenant it is related to diagonal elts of matrix
