I get stuck when it comes to solving my augmented matrix with Gauss Jordan Elimination.



I also tried formulating the following steps to solve the problem.




  1. Create instances of u, v and w that pertain to the question. My visualisation in Geogebra can be viewed here: https://ggbm.at/b6xvwhpa


  2. Set u = av + bw = u (where a and b are constants)


  3. Disprove (2)


However, I could not get past step 1.



Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

          If $u$ belongs to the span of $v$ and $w$ the $u=av+bw$ for some scalars $a$ and $b$. Since $langle u, v rangle=0$ and $langle u, w rangle=0$ we get $langle u, (av+bw) rangle=0$ so $langle u, u rangle=0$. This means $u=0$ which is a contradiction.
