If A = (1, 2, 3) and B = (x, y, z) are such that A · B = 0, what is the condition for x, y, z?
  1. x + 2y + 3z = 0
  2. x - 2y + 3z = 0
  3. x + 2y - 3z = 0
  4. x - 2y - 3z = 0

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If A = (1, 2, 3) and B = (x, y, z) are such that A · B = 0, what is the condition for x, y, z?
  • Step 1: Understand that A and B are vectors. A = (1, 2, 3) and B = (x, y, z).
  • Step 2: The dot product of two vectors A and B is calculated by multiplying their corresponding components and adding the results.
  • Step 3: For vectors A and B, the dot product A · B is calculated as: 1*x + 2*y + 3*z.
  • Step 4: We know from the question that A · B = 0, which means: 1*x + 2*y + 3*z = 0.
  • Step 5: Rearranging the equation gives us the condition: x + 2y + 3z = 0.
  • Step 6: This equation (x + 2y + 3z = 0) is the condition that x, y, and z must satisfy.
  • Dot Product – The dot product of two vectors A and B is calculated by multiplying corresponding components and summing the results.
  • Orthogonality – Two vectors are orthogonal (perpendicular) if their dot product equals zero.
