Determine if these two vectors are perpendicular. a=[1,4,8], b=[0,6,-3]

Start by determining dot product. a.b = 1x0 + 4x6 + 8*-3 = 0as a.b = |a||b|cos(theta)cos(theta) = 0therefore theta = 90 degTherefore vectors are perpendicular

In simple harmonic motion, where would the object have the largest speed. If the angular velocity is 2 rad s^-1, and the amplitude is 1m, what is the largest speed obtained by the object?

For a homogeneous second order differential equation, why does a complex conjugate pair solution (m+in and m-in) to the auxiliary equation result in the complementary function y(x)=e^(mx)(Acos(nx)+Bisin(nx)), where i represents √(-1).
