Q47 of 138 Page 24

Find the values of x and y if the vectors and are mutually perpendicular vectors of equal magnitude.

given is perpendicular to so



Applying,


6 + x – y = 0


X – y = –6…(i)


Since the magnitude of both vectors are equal





(y–x) (y+x) =5


6x+6y=5…(ii)


Solving equation (i) and (ii) we get
