AI Generated Solution

To determine whether it is possible for two non-zero vectors to multiply and yield a zero result, we need to analyze both the dot product and the cross product of vectors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vector Multiplication**: - Vector multiplication can refer to two types: the dot product and the cross product. - The dot product of two vectors **A** and **B** is given by: \[ ...
