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

How do you find the matrix corresponding to a transformation?


A mass m=1kg, initially at rest and with x=10mm, is connected to a damper with stiffness k=24N/mm and damping constant c=0.2Ns/mm. Given that the differential equation of the system is given by d^2x/dt^2+(dx/dt *c/m)+kx/m=0, find the particular solution.


Given a curve with parametric equations, x=acos^3(t) and y=asin^3(t), find the length of the curve between points A and B, where t=0 and t=2pi respectively.


What does it mean if two matrices are said to be commutative?
