Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither. u = <6, -2>, v = <8, 24>

myininaya (myininaya):

find the dot product first <a,b> dot <c,d> =ac+bd

myininaya (myininaya):

if u dot v =0 then u and v are orthogonal . If u dot v doesn't equal 0, find magnitudes of both and see if you have either u dot v=|u||v| or u dot v=-|u||v|. If you have one of those two thingys I just mentioned then u and v are parallel.
