8.4 Perpendicular Vectors If the inner product is _______ then the vectors are ___________ Often called the “dot product” and you say “a dot b” zero perpendicular
Ex1: find the inner product and determine if any are perpendicular. c)
Inner product of vector in space is extension of vector in a plane. Example 2
Cross product of two vectors in space is a vector Does not lie in the plane of the given vectors but is perpendicular. Cross product is written
To find the cross product, we need to review how to find the determinants of matrices - easy
Plug into formula Find the determinant Write it as an ordered triple – this is your cross product. How would I tell if it is perpendicular?
