Are the given vectors normal? a=(5,-2) and b=(6,15)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

normal vector have zero dot product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do these vector have zero dot product?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the dot product of two vectors\[\vec a=\langle x,y,z\rangle\\\vec b=\langle p,q,r\rangle\\\vec a\cdot\vec b=xp+yq+zr\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um what

OpenStudy (turingtest):

for example, the dot product of (1,2,3) and (4,5,6) is 1*4+2*5+3*6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo.. they're normal?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

how did you do the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't, I have no idea what to do

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the dot product of (a, b) with (x,y) is ax+by what are your a and b? what are your x and y? does the dot product equal zero?
