If `vecA= 4hati+nhatj-2hatk and vecB=2hati+3hatj+hatk`, then findt the value of n so that `vecA bot vecB`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dot product of two mutually parpendicular vectors is zero `vecA*vecB =0`
`therefore (4hati+nhatj-2hatk)*(2hati+3hatj+hatk)=0 rArr (4xx2)+ (nxx3) + (-2xx1)=0 rArr 3n =-6 rArr n =-2`
