The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions: \( A \cdot B = 0 \) and \( A \times B = 1 \). ### Step 1: Analyze the dot product condition The dot product \( A \cdot B = 0 \) indicates that the vectors \( A \) and \( B \) are perpendicular to each other. This is because the dot product of two vectors is given by: \[ A \cdot B = |A| |B| \cos \theta \] Where \( \theta \) is the angle between the two vectors. Since \( A \cdot B = 0 \), it implies that: \[ \cos \theta = 0 \implies \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Step 2: Analyze the cross product condition The cross product \( A \times B = 1 \) gives us information about the magnitudes of the vectors. The magnitude of the cross product is given by: \[ |A \times B| = |A| |B| \sin \theta \] Since we already established that \( \theta = 90^\circ \), we know that: \[ \sin 90^\circ = 1 \] Thus, we can simplify the equation to: \[ |A \times B| = |A| |B| \cdot 1 = |A| |B| \] Given that \( A \times B = 1 \), we have: \[ |A| |B| = 1 \] ### Step 3: Conclusion about the vectors From the above analysis, we conclude that \( A \) and \( B \) are perpendicular vectors (as established from the dot product) and their magnitudes multiply to 1 (as established from the cross product). This means that both \( A \) and \( B \) must be unit vectors. Therefore, the final answer is that \( A \) and \( B \) are perpendicular unit vectors. ### Final Answer: **A and B are perpendicular unit vectors.** ---
