Let a=3i−j+4k\mathbf{a}=3\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+4\mathbf{k} and b=2i+2j+k\mathbf{b}=2\mathbf{i}+2\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}. Determine the vector projection (component) of a+b\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b} along b\mathbf{b}. a) 173 b\dfrac{17}{3}\,\mathbf{b} b) 179 (a+b)\dfrac{17}{9}\,(\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}) c) 179 b\dfrac{17}{9}\,\mathbf{b} d) 89 b\dfrac{8}{9}\,\mathbf{b}
