How to make vectors orthogonal and with unit length? Really need help

[Jenny F]

Hi,

I have two vectors w⃗ = (w1, w2, w3) and ⃗v = (v1, v2, v3). The vectors should have the lenght of 1 and be orthogonal to each other. The first coordinate is 0. I am able to solve this as an equation system on paper but I am also tying to solve it in matlab. How should I do this?

That's the proper way to do it. The other option is to write your hand calc in as steps in a matlab script.
