Orthogonal and perpendicular are essentially the same thing: When two lines, planes, etc. intersect at a right angle, or 90 degrees, they are orthogonal/perpendicular.Orthogonal is simply a term used more commonly for vectors, when they have a scalar/inner/dot product of 0, as:vector u X vector v = (length of vector u) X (length of vector v) X cos @ ,@ being the angle between the two vectors.When the scalar product is 0, that is because @ is 90 degrees, and cos 90 = 0. Therefore, the vectors u and v are orthogonal.
A matrix A is orthogonal if itstranspose is equal to it inverse. So AT is the transpose of A and A-1 is the inverse. We have AT=A-1 So we have : AAT= I, the identity matrix Since it is MUCH easier to find a transpose than an inverse, these matrices are easy to compute with. Furthermore, rotation matrices are orthogonal. The inverse of an orthogonal matrix is also orthogonal which can be easily proved directly from the definition.
It need not be, so the question makes no sense!
Vectors are used in the sun
Yes - if you accept vectors pointing in opposite directions as "parallel". Example: 3 + 2 + (-5) = 0
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.
The answer will depend on orthogonal to WHAT!
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)?
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'.
The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.
shut up now
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.
Vectors are said to be orthogonal if their dot product is zero.Vectors in Rn are perpendicular if they are nonzero and orthogonal.
Vectors that go in different directions are called orthogonal vectors. This means that the vectors are perpendicular to each other, with a 90 degree angle between them.
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.
In mathematics, "orthogonal" means perpendicular or independent. In linear algebra, vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero, indicating they are at right angles to each other. In statistics, orthogonal variables are uncorrelated, making them useful for multi-variable analysis.
'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.
