#### Orthogonality and Orthonormality of Vector Sets

The set \( \mathcal{S} = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ -2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \right\} \) 

is

1. \( \circle \) neither an orthogonal set nor an orthonormal set.
2. \( \circle \) an orthogonal set.
3. \( \circle \) a subspace in \( \mathbb{R}^3 \).
4. \( \circle \) an orthonormal set.

### Explanation

Given a set of vectors, we can assess their orthogonality and orthonormality by examining their dot product and magnitudes. The dot product of two vectors \( \mathbf{u} \) and \( \mathbf{v} \) yields zero if the vectors are orthogonal:

\[ \mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v} = 0 \text{ implies orthogonality.} \]

An orthonormal set is a set of orthogonal vectors where each vector is also a unit vector, meaning the magnitude of each vector is 1. The magnitude of a vector \( \mathbf{u} = \begin{bmatrix} u_1 \\ u_2 \\ u_3 \end{bmatrix} \) is given by:

\[ \| \mathbf{u} \| = \sqrt{u_1^2 + u_2^2 + u_3^2} \]

To answer the question above, the dot product of the vectors \( \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix} \) and \( \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ -2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \) needs to be calculated, along with their magnitudes, to determine if the set \( \mathcal{S} \) satisfies the conditions for orthogonality and orthonormality.
