Question: In a Cartesian reference system two vectors are defined as (mathbf{a}=2 c hat{mathbf{i}}-hat{mathbf{j}}+4 hat{mathbf{k}}) and (mathbf{b}=4 hat{mathbf{i}}+) ((c-1) hat{mathbf{j}}+5 hat{mathbf{k}}). For which values of (c)

In a Cartesian reference system two vectors are defined as \(\mathbf{a}=2 c \hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) and \(\mathbf{b}=4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\) \((c-1) \hat{\mathbf{j}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\). For which values of \(c\) are the two vectors orthogonal?
