Find the dot product, a • b. a = 6i + 5j, b = -5i + 4j

OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):

i.i=1=j.j i.j=j.i=0

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so the first term is 6i*-5i = -30i.i = -30

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You are given two vectors, specified by their vector components. Please write out the formula for dot product that you'd use in a situation such as this one.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

It's good to have a road map in front of you.

OpenStudy (stephanos100):

so is it -10, then? @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Still waiting to see the formula or formulas you're using to find the dot product. That's what I meant by "road map."
