@ganeshie8 help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -10, but i don't think it's right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you want to find the dot product :- \(5u.(u-2v)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

dot product is distributive, so simply distribute

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(5u.(u-2v)\) \(5u.u- 5u.2v\) \(5u^2- 10u.v\) \(5||u||^2- 10u.v\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plug the given values and simplify
