Answer:
The values of b are [-2,0,2] for which the vectors are orthogonal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Vector [-9,b,5] and Vector [b,b^2,b].
According to the question:
Both the above vectors are orthogonal we have to find the value of b.
Orthogonal vectors:
- Are the vectors which, are at right angles to each other.
- Meaning they are perpendicular to each other.
- And their,Dot product is equivalent to zero.
So we have to calculate by dot product and make it equal to zero and then have to solve the b values.
Dot Product:
For vectors a and b where
and
the dot product is
.
Solving.

⇒ Equating with zero individually.
⇒ 
So the values of b are [-2,0,2] for which the given vectors are orthogonal.
