Questions  

The two vectors A=-2i^+3j^+yk^ and B=i^+2j^+xk^ are perpendicular. Given x+y=0. Find x and y?

a
x=2 and y=-1
b
x=2 and y=-2
c
x=1 and y=-2
d
x=1 and y=-1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

x+y=0when the vectors are perpendicular.A→.B→=AxBx+AyBy+AzBz =0A→.B→=-2+6+xy=0⇒xy=-4x-y2=x+y2-4xyx-y=±4x=2 and y=-2 or x=-2 and y=2
