To 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 \(\vec{b}\), we can use the property that two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define the Vectors**: Let \(\vec{u} = |\vec{a}|\vec{b} + |\vec{b}|\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{v} = |\vec{a}|\vec{b} - |\vec{b}|\vec{a}\). 2. **Calculate the Dot Product**: ...
