In vector algebra, under what condition are two non-zero vectors and orthogonal?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Their scalar product equals zero:
- Step 1: In mathematics under the Ukrainian NMT syllabus, Orthogonal vectors form a angle, making , so . **Answer: Their scalar product equals zero: . Why not the others:** Their vector cross product equals one does not satisfy the mathematical condition.
