'Orthogonal' just means 'perpendicular'.
You can establish that if neither vector has a component in the direction of the
other one, or the sum of the squares of their magnitudes is equal to the square
of the magnitude of their sum.
If you have the algebraic equations for the vectors in space or on a graph, then
they're perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals.

What is the difference between orthogonal and orthonormal vectors?
All vectors that are perpendicular (their dot product is zero) are orthogonal vectors.Orthonormal vectors are orthogonal unit vectors. Vectors are only orthonormal if they are both perpendicular have have a length of 1.
Can the difference of 2 vectors be orthogonal?
The answer will depend on orthogonal to WHAT!
What is a vector which is orthogonal to the other vectors and is coplanar with the other vectors called?
In a plane, each vector has only one orthogonal vector (well, two, if you count the negative of one of them). Are you sure you don't mean the normal vector which is orthogonal but outside the plane (in fact, orthogonal to the plane itself)?
How to find orthogonal vector?
Given one vector a, any vector that satisfies a.b=0 is orthogonal to it. That is a set of vectors defining a plane orthogonal to the original vector.The set of vectors defines a plane to which the original vector a is the 'normal'.
A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?
The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.

What is a word using the root word ortho?
Three of them are "orthogonal", "orthodontist", and "orthopedic", and "orthogonal" is a very important word in mathematics. For one example, two vectors are orthogonal whenever their dot product is zero. "Orthogonal" also comes into play in calculus, such as in Fourier Series.
When are vectors orthogonal?
When they are at right angles to one another.
A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?
The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.
Show that only N orthogonal vectors can be formed from N linearly independent vectors?

Are one and one equal to two?
Yes. Forever and always. not always. In a two dimension plane where unity vectors are orthogonal 1+1 = √ 2
What is the definition of orthogonal signal space?
Orthogonal signal space is defined as the set of orthogonal functions, which are complete. In orthogonal vector space any vector can be represented by orthogonal vectors provided they are complete.Thus, in similar manner any signal can be represented by a set of orthogonal functions which are complete.
How do you prove three vectors are equal to zero?
If the sum of their components in any two orthogonal directions is zero, the resultant is zero. Alternatively, show that the resultant of any two vectors has the same magnitude but opposite direction to the third.
What is the importance of a dot product being equal to zero?
Vectors are said to be orthogonal if their dot product is zero.Vectors in Rn are perpendicular if they are nonzero and orthogonal.
