DOT PRODUCT HELP, let u 2, 1, v 4, 2, and w 1, 3 be vectors. Find the indicated expression. 1. WHAT IS 2U-3W

OpenStudy (matlee):

Ok so far i have 2,1 x 2 and 1,3x3 then it would be U(4,2) w(3,9) Now this is where I'm stuck

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

2U is just a scalar multiplication 3W same as above and 2U - 3W is just an addition operation

remembered taking linear algebra last semester :D was fun

OpenStudy (matlee):

Scalar multipication? i will have to google that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

eh? google? I'd think you've covered that, should be in the 1st section of vectors

OpenStudy (matlee):

Yes we did i just constantly forget my definitions

OpenStudy (matlee):

Ok i got it so basically its awlays the same amount just like a graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

scalar a number that amplifies another number

OpenStudy (matlee):

So which part would i subtract do i still have to do u1-w1 and u2-w2 and that would be it?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (matlee):

OpenStudy (matlee):
