20. Orthonormal Basis from Scratch

Let v1,v2,v3v_1,v_2,v_3 be three linearly independent vectors in R3\mathbb{R}^3.

Derive a general procedure for constructing an orthogonal basis u1,u2,u3u_1,u_2,u_3 for span⁡{v1,v2,v3}\operatorname{span}\{v_1,v_2,v_3\} using the standard inner product.

Your procedure should be expressed in terms of v1,v2,v3v_1,v_2,v_3, and you must prove that the resulting vectors are mutually orthogonal and span the same subspace.
