To decompose a vector in R4, you separate its components based on the bases of W and W⊥. The part corresponding to the basis of W (the first two coordinates) forms a vector in W, and the part corresponding to the basis of W⊥ (the last two coordinates) forms a vector in W⊥.
Conditions: The ambient space is R4.; W has basis ⎩⎨⎧1000,0100⎭⎬⎫.; W⊥ has basis ⎩⎨⎧0010,0001⎭⎬⎫.; The target vector is given, e.g., 43−26.
