Show hintHide hint
Think about it as finding the nearest point.
Question 2.
What does the error vector signify?
Show hintHide hint
Look for a relationship between the original and approximated values.
3Question 3.
What is the best way to define best approximation?
- The farthest vector from the original
- The closest vector in a subspace
- Any random vector from the space

Remember the definition of the Projection Theorem.
Question 5.
Given a vector v = (4, 3) and a subspace defined by w1 = (1, 1) and w2 = (1, -1), find the best approximation vector v_b.
