If the position vector vec a of a point...

If the position vector ` vec a` of a point `(12 ,n)` is such that `| vec a|=13 ,` find the value of `ndot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
the position vector of point `(12,n)`
is `12hati+nhatj`
So, `a=12hati+nhatj`
​thus,
`=∣a∣=sqrt((12)^2+n^2) `​
`=13=sqrt((12)^2+n^2)`
`​=169=144+n^2`
