Question
If $\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0$ and $\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v}=\mathbf{0}$, what, if anything, can you conclude about $\mathbf{u}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ ?
Step 1
We have two conditions involving vectors \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\): - The dot product \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v} = 0\). - The cross product \(\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0}\). Show more…

The Cross Product
If $\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w}=\mathbf{0}$ and $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}=0,$ can you draw any conclusions about $\mathbf{v}$ and/or $\mathbf{w} ?$ Explain.

Respond with true or false to each of the following assertions. Be prepared to justify your answer. If $\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0$ and $\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v}=\mathbf{0},$ then $\mathbf{u}$ or $\mathbf{v}$ is $\mathbf{0}.$
