Given `vec(P)=3hat(i)-4hat(j)`. Which of the following is perpendicular to `vec(P)`?A. `3hat(i)`B. `4hat(j)`C. `4hat(i)+3hat(j)`D. `4hat(i)-3hat(j)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C `vec(P)` is the fourth quadrant. `4hat(i)+3hat(j)` is in the first quadrant. Clearly, `4hat(i)+3hat(j)` can be perpendicular to `vec(P)`. For confirmation, let us check whether their dot product is zero. `(3hat(i)-4hat(j)).(4hat(i)+3hat(j))=12-12=0` This shows that `4hat(i)+3hat(j)` is perpenduicular to `3hat(i)+4hat(j)`. |
