Claims About Vector Decomposition
Problem
Let be a given nonzero plane vector. Consider the following claims about decomposing (in each, the vectors lie in one plane and are pairwise non-parallel).
1. Given a vector , there always exists a vector with . 2. Given vectors and , there always exist reals with . 3. Given a unit vector and a positive number , there always exist a unit vector and a real with . 4. Given positive numbers and , there always exist unit vectors and with .
Determine, with proof, how many of these claims are true.
