If veca cdot veca=0and veca cdot vecb...

If ` veca cdot veca=0`and ` veca cdot vecb=0`, then what can be concluded about the vector ` vec b`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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