If
and
then find
Verify that
and
are perpendicular to each other.
Given
and![]()
Recall the cross product of two vectors
and
is

Here, we have (a1, a2, a3) = (1, –2, 3) and (b1, b2, b3) = (2, 3, –5)

![]()
![]()
![]()
We need to prove
and
are perpendicular to each other.
We know that two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero.
So, we will evaluate
.
![]()
![]()
But,
,
and
are mutually perpendicular.
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus
and it is perpendicular to
.
