## Orthogonal Vector Problem

### Problem Statement
1. **Find a vector that is orthogonal to each of the three vectors below:**

\[ v_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad v_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \text{and} \quad v_3 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \\ 3 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}. \]

### Explanation
To solve this problem, you need to find a vector \( \mathbf{u} \) such that it is perpendicular (orthogonal) to all given vectors \( \mathbf{v_1} \), \( \mathbf{v_2} \), and \( \mathbf{v_3} \). This means that the dot product of \( \mathbf{u} \) with each of these vectors should equal zero.

This content will help students understand the concept of orthogonality in the context of vectors and how to apply mathematical principles to find a common orthogonal vector in multiple dimensions.
