Provide an appropriate response.Show that A = au + bv is orthogonal to B = bu - av, where u and v are orthogonal unit vectors.

What will be an ideal response?


A?B = (au + bv)?(bu - av) = abu?u - a2u?v + b2u?v - abv?v  = ab - ab = 0
Since the dot product is zero and since neither A nor B is identically zero, A and B are orthogonal.
