Two vectors are perpendicular:
then x×2x+(-3)(-x)+5×(-1) = 0
2x²+3x-5 = 0
2x²+5x-2x-5 = 0
x(2x+5)-1(2x+5) = 0
(x-1) and (2x+5) = 0
x= 1,-5/2
then the value of x is 1,-5/2

Answer:
1,-5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
let a=xi-3j+5k , b=2xi-xj-k
since it is given that ab are perpendicular a.b=0
(xi-3j+5k)(2xi-xj-k)=0
2x^2+3x-5=0
2x^2+5x-2x-5=0
x(2x+5)-1(2x+5)=0
(x-1)(2x+5)=0
x=1,x=-5/2
