the following vector v = 9i + 8j, w = 8i + 9j State whether the vectors are parallel, orthogonal, or neither. is it neither?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

first find the dot product of V and W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

144

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah now two vectors a and b are orthogonal if dot product of a and b =0 so are they orthogonal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

now find the cross product of V and W

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

can u find the cross product i mean (VXW)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to do cross product yet

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

|dw:1400402958384:dw| so its nor parallel as the cross product is not equal to 0
