Find two unit vectors orthogonal to both given vectors. i j k, 4i k

Maurinko [17]3 years ago

The cross product of two vectors gives a third vector \mathbf v that is orthogonal to the first two.

\mathbf v=(\vec i+\vec j+\vec k)\times(4\,\vec i+\vec k)=\begin{vmatrix}\vec i&\vec j&\vec k\\1&1&1\\4&0&1\end{vmatrix}=\vec i+3\,\vec j-4\,\vec k

Normalize this vector by dividing it by its norm:

\dfrac{\mathbf v}{\|\mathbf v\|}=\dfrac{\vec i+3\,\vec j-4\,\vec k}{\sqrt{1^2+3^2+(-4)^2}}=\dfrac1{\sqrt{26}}(\vec i+3\,\vec j-4\vec k)

To get another vector orthogonal to the first two, you can just change the sign and use -\mathbf v.

Hello! To find the amount of lettuce needed for the recipe, all you have to do is multiply 1 3/4 by 4 1/7. It would be best to change the numbers into improper fractions. 1 3/4 is 7/4 and 4 1/7 is 29/7. 7/4 * 29/7 is 203/28 or 7 1/4 in simplest form. You need 7 1/4 cups of lettuce for the salad recipe. The answer is C.
