Find c so that these vectors are mutually perpendicular:
a = <c,−2, 3> and b = <c, c,−5>.
how would you go about doing this.
I know how to apply the cross product.

Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is.
thanks for response and yes i agree if its 0 its mutually perpendicular.
would i have to put a = <c,−2, 3> and b = <c, c,−5> into its determinant form then solve?
No, take the dot product and set it equal to
ok i see
i got an answer of −3 or it could be 5 i think that's correct
Yes that is correct.
