By using dot product we can get the answer

(2i-3j) . (3i-2j)

= (2.3)-(-1) (2.3)

=6+6

=12

Note : i.i=j.j=k.k=1 .....by property of scalar dot product

=


vasanth2004: your answer is wrong
aaryan12395: Ok then by using cross product
(2i-3j) x(3i-2j)
=-4k-(-9k)
=-4k+9k
=5k
vasanth2004: yes correct
aaryan12395: I thought that magnitude was required
But the main catch was “perpendicular“

Explanation:

It is given that,

Vector 1, a=2i-3j

Vector 2, b=3i-2j

Let c is the vector that is perpendicular to both a and b. It can be calculated using the cross product formula as :

c=a\times b

c=(2i-3j)\times (3i-2j)

c=0i+0j+5k

So, the vector that is perpendicular to both a and b is c=0i+0j+5k. Hence, this is the required solution.
