Example Question #342 : Vectors And Vector Operations
Given the following two vectors, 
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 
The dot product can be found following the example above:
Example Question #31 : Dot Product
Given the following two vectors, 
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 
The dot product can be found following the example above:
Example Question #32 : Dot Product
Given the following two vectors, 
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 
The dot product can be found following the example above:
Note that if you were to find the magnitude of each vector and multiply the two, you'd find the result. This is because these two vectors happen to be parallel.
Example Question #345 : Vectors And Vector Operations
Given the following two vectors, 
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 
The dot product can be found following the example above:
The zero result shows that these two vectors are perpendicular.
Example Question #346 : Vectors And Vector Operations
Given the following two vectors, 
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 
The dot product can be found following the example above:
Note that since we found a zero value, these two vectors must be perpendicular!
Example Question #33 : Dot Product
Given the following two vectors, 
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 
The dot product can be found following the example above:
