Show that |vec a| vec b + |vec b| vec a,...

Show that `|vec a| vec b + |vec b| vec a`, is perpendicular to `|vec a| vec b - |vec b| vec a`, for any two non-zero vectors `vec a` and `vec b`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`therefore (|veca | vec b+ |vec b|vec a)` is perpendicular to `(|vec a| vecb - |vecb| vec a)`.
