Find the real vectors that are orthogonal to the given vectors: \(\Large \left< 1 ,\; 1 ,\; 1 \right>\) and \(\Large \left< 1 ,\; -1 ,\; 0 \right>\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The answer key says "All the multiples of <1, 1, -2>". I just can't seem to remember how to do this :x Hmm

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Cross product = 0 or something like that maybe? +_+

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, definitely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the cross product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That will give you a vector orthogonal to both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, all scalar multiples of that vector is the result.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh cool it worked! c: thanks! Just needed a refresher heh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how it is. Cross products and determinants can be such a PAIN!
