For what value of λ are the vectors  a = 2i^ + λ j^ + k^  and  b = i^ - 2j^ -3k^  are perpendicular to each other?


a = 2i^ + λ j^ + k^b = i^ - 2j^ + 3k^If  a and  b are perpendicular to each other, then a.b must be 0.a.b = 2i^ + λ j^ + k^ .  i^ - 2j^ + 3k^     0 = 2 . 1 + λ . (-2) + 1 . 3    0 = 2 - 2λ + 3  2λ = 5  λ = 52Thus, the value of  λ is  52
