Default Gradient method problems - steepest conjugate etc.

I have three questions as a take home exam in my course.
Do you know the answers?

Has your instructor said you can get help with this take home exam? The thread is closed pending further information (you can pm me).

Question Steepest descent

*Q1 Show the direction vectors are perpendicular to each other in the Steepest Descent Method;
that is
g_{k+1}^t  * g_k=0


I know that in steepest descent, the algorithm makes zigzags.
If one vector is A and the other is B.
And the angle between them is \theta.
In vector multiplication A*B=AB*cos \theta
Because of cos(90)=0 the answer is 0.

But how can i relate it with steepest descent??
