Try it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have actually.
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
that looks like the dot product

@jdoe0001 No. Just vector addition.
OpenStudy (primeralph):
Looks like 3u--2v
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
the minus sign seems to have a dot in front of it :/
looks like \(\bf 3u\cdot -2v\)
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmm, maybe is a dash hehee
OpenStudy (primeralph):
@lamp12345 Is it a minus or a dot?

Thats what I was confused about. I'm not sure either. thats why i added the actual file instead of typing it in.
OpenStudy (primeralph):
Got options?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it doesnt look like a minus though so maybe a dot?
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
so, it'd be a scalar result
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the formula for that then? or how do you do it?
OpenStudy (primeralph):
Then it's a dot product.
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
well, multiplication is just straightforward, the scalar times each component
a <b, c> => <a*b, a*c>
OpenStudy (primeralph):
@jdoe0001 Take care of this. I got to go.

the dot product is just
<a, b> \(\cdot\) <c, d> => a*c + b*d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do you know what a b c and d are?
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
just the RESPECTIVE component in each vector
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tried it again, got the wrong answer AGAIN. Theres a reason im using this site for this problem. thanks anyway
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hehe, ok, let's see

My answer? -3
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
u = <-3, 5> v = <4, 3>
3u => < -3(3), 5(3) > => < -9, 15>
-2v => <4(-2), 3(-2)> => < -8, -6>
\(\bf < -9, 15> \cdot < -8, -6> \implies (-9 \times -8) + (15 \times -6) \\
\implies 72 -90\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks you!
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
yw
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
well heheh
