Question

Use the dot product to determine whether v and w are orthogonal.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The vectors v and w are orthogonal because their dot product is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

v=  - i - j  

w= - i + j

Therefore;

vw = ( - i - j )  ( - i + j )

Taking each  set of integer of the vector into consideration:

vw = ( -1 × - 1) ( -1 × 1)

vw = 1 - 1

vw = 0

Hence, we can conclude that :

The vectors v and w are orthogonal because their dot product is 0
