Relating dot product divided with square of the vector while changing basis of vector
The lecture (Mathematics for Machine Learning: Linear Algebra by Imperial College London ) covers changing basis of vectors. Finding difficult to follow how dot product is used while changing basis.

Why dot product is divided by square of the length of vector to come to the conclusion that vector projection is 2 times b. I think first solving the below problems will help in the process.

Your post was kind of vague but I decided to answer as I thought this might be the first time you are asking a question here. Please make sure to be much more clear about your questions in future, otherwise you may not get a response.

Thanks for the helpful answer. Is it true that the distance marked P in the diagram equal in magnitude? Also, it will help if you are kind enough to confirm the length of P starts from where a1 ends. If that be so, then I find some meaning breaking OM into Oa1 and a1M. That is, a1M = MN = P.
-
Root 5 I understand is length of Oa1 and not ON.
-
From another thread, the magnitude of MN appears 1 (https://mathforums.com/threads/relating-dot-product-divided-with-square-of-the-vector-while-changing-basis-of-vector.362851/#post-665818). An insight will help why I am confused.

Regarding your first comment: Yes, the distance marked P in the diagram equal in magnitude of the Vector MN. Yes, I confirm.
-
Regarding your second comment: Sorry, I do not answer questions in other platforms.

I'm fairly sure that the question is very easy, but I find it unlikely that anyone is going through the video for the current bounty. I think you should either increase it, or try to write your question clearly without referencing external sources.
