Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither. u = <3, 0>, v = <0, -6>

OpenStudy (loser66):

From the previous question, you know how to find dot product of 2 vectors, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I believe so.

OpenStudy (loser66):

then, do it again, if u dot v =0 , then u and v are orthogonal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,0 Does this mean it is orthogonal?

OpenStudy (loser66):

hey, dot product is a NUMBER, not a vector, hence the result is 0, not (0,0) and you are right. they are orthogonal

OpenStudy (loser66):

Review the previous post. You get -41, it is a NUMBER,right??

OpenStudy (loser66):

Yes? No? your sister want to go to bed but I don't want to leave before making it clear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is orthogonal then.

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok
