Determine a vector perpendicular to u=[6,-5]

OpenStudy (shamim):

i think ur vector \[u=6i-5j\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

now i wanna find out a vector which will b perpendicular to ur given vector u

OpenStudy (shamim):

let the perpendicular vector is \[v\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So change to unit vectors Then?

OpenStudy (shamim):

\[v=5i+6j\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would it flip? Is it because you made v=0 then just moved it over?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there a rule for that?

OpenStudy (shamim):

ya

OpenStudy (shamim):

if u do dot product of \[u\] and \[v\] then u will get 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. Because it has to be cos90, which is = to 0 Okay

OpenStudy (shamim):

ya

OpenStudy (shamim):

medal?
