i. If and
show that
is perpendicular to
ii. If and
then show that
and
are orthogonal.
i)
Now
= (4 × - 2) + (1 × 3) + ( - 1 × - 5) = - 8 + 3 + 5 = 0
Since the dot product of these two vectors is 0,the vector is perpendicular to
Hence,proved.
ii)
Now
= (6 × 4) + (2 × - 4) + ( - 8 × 2) = 24 - 8 - 16 = 0
Since the dot product of these two vectors is 0,the vector is perpendicular to
Hence,proved that and
are orthogonal.
