problem

When $\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}$ is projected onto $\begin{pmatrix} \sqrt{3} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix},$ the resulting vector has magnitude 3.\sqrt{3}. Also, a=2+b3.a = 2 + b \sqrt{3}. Enter all possible values of a,a, separated by commas.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
When $\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}$ is projected onto $\begin{pmatrix} \sqrt{3} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix},$ the resulting vector has magnitude √(3).  Also, a=2+b√(3).  Enter all possible values of a, separated by commas.
Original LaTeX notation
When $\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}$ is projected onto $\begin{pmatrix} \sqrt{3} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix},$ the resulting vector has magnitude $\sqrt{3}.$  Also, $a = 2 + b \sqrt{3}.$  Enter all possible values of $a,$ separated by commas.
