Question

If a.a = 0 and a.b = 0, then what can be conclude about the vector b?

Open in App
Solution

It is given that a.a = 0 or |a|2=0|a|=0a=0 i.e., a is a zero vector because its magnitude is zero.

Hence, a.b = 0 whatever b may ( a = 0). This means that nothing can be concluded about b, it can be any vector.
