Find a*b

OpenStudy (lisa123):

a=<5,2> b=< 4,5>

OpenStudy (shamim):

So both a and b r vectors. Right?

OpenStudy (lisa123):

yes

OpenStudy (shamim):

Do u wanna get dot product or cross product of vector a and b

OpenStudy (shamim):

Response plz!!!

OpenStudy (lisa123):

Dot product please

OpenStudy (shamim):

Do u know i, j,k are three unit vectors along x,y and z axis respectively

OpenStudy (lisa123):

I think its<20, 10> but idk

OpenStudy (shamim):

Ok . Dot product

OpenStudy (shamim):

4*5=?

OpenStudy (shamim):

2*5=?

OpenStudy (shamim):

Ya u r right

OpenStudy (lisa123):

No what does that mean?

OpenStudy (shamim):

Add them

OpenStudy (shamim):

20+10=?

OpenStudy (lisa123):

20

OpenStudy (lisa123):

10

OpenStudy (shamim):

30?

OpenStudy (lisa123):

30

OpenStudy (shamim):

Not 20

OpenStudy (shamim):

Result is 30

OpenStudy (lisa123):

so 30 is the answer?

OpenStudy (lisa123):

yes why are you questioning it?

OpenStudy (shamim):

Ya . U r correct!!"

OpenStudy (lisa123):

Oh ok Thank you! That was easy.

OpenStudy (shamim):

Anyway if a and b are 2 vectors , then the dot product of a and b is a*b=ab*cos theta Right?

OpenStudy (lisa123):

Can u help me with this other question too please? @shamim Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither u= <6,-2> v=<2,6>

OpenStudy (shamim):

I mean a dot b =a*b*cos theta

OpenStudy (shamim):

Theta is angle between vectors a and b

OpenStudy (lisa123):

Yes so 6*2 *cos theta?

OpenStudy (shamim):

U should ask this another question in main page. I m there

OpenStudy (shamim):

Anyway glad to help u!!!

OpenStudy (lisa123):

ok thanks
