Vedclass · Answer

(A) Given vectors are $\vec{u} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\vec{v} = -3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$,and $\vec{w} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$.Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is $0$.First,calculate $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = (2)(-3) + (3)(2) + (1)(0) = -6 + 6 + 0 = 0$. Since the dot product is $0$,$\vec{u} \perp \vec{v}$.Next,calculate $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{w} = (2)(1) + (3)(-1) + (1)(4) = 2 - 3 + 4 = 3 
eq 0$. Thus,$\vec{u}$ is not perpendicular to $\vec{w}$.Finally,calculate $\vec{v} \cdot \vec{w} = (-3)(1) + (2)(-1) + (0)(4) = -3 - 2 + 0 = -5 
eq 0$. Thus,$\vec{v}$ is not perpendicular to $\vec{w}$.Therefore,$\vec{u}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{v}$ but not to $\vec{w}$.

Let $\vec{u} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\vec{v} = -3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$ and $\vec{w} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$. Then which of the following statements is true?
