Answer on Question #42414 – Math - Analytic Geometry

Question: Determine whether the vectors uu and vv are parallel, orthogonal, or neither.


u=6,2,v=2,6u = \langle 6, -2 \rangle, v = \langle 2, 6 \rangle


Solution: Compute dot product as the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two sequences of numbers :


uv=62+(2)6=0, sou \cdot v = 6 \cdot 2 + (-2) \cdot 6 = 0, \text{ so}


Answer: the vectors uu and vv are orthogonal.
