Example Question #44 : Dot Product

Given the following two vectors,  and , calculate the dot product between them,.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The dot product of a paired set of vectors can be found by summing up the individual products of the multiplications between matched directional vectors.

Note that the dot product is a scalar value rather than a vector; there's no directional term.

Now considering our problem, we're given the vectors  and 

The dot product can be found following the example above:
