Answer

$\{(\frac{1}{\sqrt 14},\frac{2}{\sqrt 14},\frac{3}{\sqrt 14}),(\frac{6}{\sqrt 45},\frac{-3}{\sqrt 45},0)\}$

Work Step by Step

Let $x_1=(1,2,3) \\ x_2=(6,-3,0)$ According to Gram-Schmidt process, we have: $v_1=x_1=(1,2,3)\\ v_2=x_2-\frac{}{||v_1||^2}v_1\\ =(6,-3,0)-\frac{((6,-3,0),(1,2,3))}{||(1,2,3)||^2}(1,2,3) \\ =(6,-3,0)-\frac{6.1+(-3).2+0.3}{1^2+2^2+3^2}(1,2,3)\\ =(6,-3,0)$ To determine an orthogonal set, we obtain: $\frac{v_1}{||v_1||}=\frac{(1,2,3)}{\sqrt 1^2+2^2+3^2}=\frac{(1,2,3)}{\sqrt 14}=(\frac{1}{\sqrt 14},\frac{2}{\sqrt 14},\frac{3}{\sqrt 14})$ $\frac{v_2}{||v_2||}=\frac{(6,-3,0)}{\sqrt 6^2+(-3)^2+0^2}=\frac{(6,-3,0)}{\sqrt 45}=(\frac{6}{\sqrt 45},\frac{-3}{\sqrt 45},0)$ Hence, a corresponding orthonormal set of vector is : $\{(\frac{1}{\sqrt 14},\frac{2}{\sqrt 14},\frac{3}{\sqrt 14}),(\frac{6}{\sqrt 45},\frac{-3}{\sqrt 45},0)\}$
