Answer

$S=\{(\frac{1}{\sqrt 15}-\frac{i}{\sqrt 15},\frac{3}{\sqrt 15}+\frac{2i}{\sqrt 15}),(\frac{2}{\sqrt 15}+\frac{3i}{\sqrt 15},\frac{1}{\sqrt 15}-\frac{i}{\sqrt 15})\}$

Work Step by Step

We are given $v_1=(1-i,3+2i)\\ v_2=(2+3i,1-i)$ $v$ and $w$ are orthogonal if $(v_1,v_2)=0 \\ = ((1-i,3+2i),(2+3i,1-i))\\ =(1-i)\bar {(2+3i)}+(3+2i)\bar {(1-i)} \\ =(1-i)(2-3i)+(3+2i)(1+i) \\ =0$ Hence, $v_1$ and $v_2$ are orthogonal vectors in $R^2$ To determine an orthogonal set, we obtain: $$\frac{v_1}{||v_1||}=\frac{(1-i,3+2i)}{||(1-i,3+2i)||}=\frac{(1-i,3+2i)}{\sqrt ((1-i,3+2i),(1-i,3+2i))}=\frac{(1-i,3+2i)}{\sqrt 15}=(\frac{1}{\sqrt 15}-\frac{i}{\sqrt 15},\frac{3}{\sqrt 15}+\frac{2i}{\sqrt 15})$$ $$\frac{v_2}{||v_2||}=\frac{(2+3i,1-i)}{||(2+3i,1-i)||}=\frac{(2+3i,1-i)}{\sqrt 15}=(\frac{2}{\sqrt 15}+\frac{3i}{\sqrt 15},\frac{1}{\sqrt 15}-\frac{i}{\sqrt 15})$$ Hence, a corresponding orthonormal set of vector is $S=\{(\frac{1}{\sqrt 15}-\frac{i}{\sqrt 15},\frac{3}{\sqrt 15}+\frac{2i}{\sqrt 15}),(\frac{2}{\sqrt 15}+\frac{3i}{\sqrt 15},\frac{1}{\sqrt 15}-\frac{i}{\sqrt 15})\}$
