Given the vectors A→=2i→−3j→+k and B→=−i→+2j→+4k. If A→ and B→ are orthogonal to each other, find the value of k.
Step 4: Solving for k, we get 4k=8 and finally, k=2.
Step 1 :Step 1: Since vectors A→ and B→ are orthogonal, their dot product will be equal to zero. That is, A→⋅B→=0.
Step 2 :Step 2: Calculating the dot product, we get A→⋅B→=(2)(−1)+(−3)(2)+(1)(4k).
Step 3 :Step 3: Simplifying, we get −2−6+4k=0.
Step 4 :Step 4: Solving for k, we get 4k=8 and finally, k=2.
