To find the value of \( m \) such that the vector \( \mathbf{A} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \) is perpendicular to the vector \( \mathbf{B} = 2\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + m\hat{k} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for perpendicular vectors Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero. Therefore, we need to set up the equation based on the dot product of the two vectors. ### Step 2: Write the dot product The dot product \( \mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} \) is given by: \[ ...
