To find the value of \( n \) such that the vectors \( \mathbf{A} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{B} = 3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + n\hat{k} \) are mutually perpendicular, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for perpendicular vectors Two vectors are mutually perpendicular if their dot product is zero. Therefore, we need to compute the dot product of vectors \( \mathbf{A} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \) and set it equal to zero. ### Step 2: Write down the vectors We have: \[ ...
