1. steps to find the dot product: a: multiply the x-coordinates together b: multiply the y-coordinates together c. add up the answers from steps a and b

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

good same thing for 2), just convert the vectors into <1,2> vector form

kaylak:

but there's no answer choice for 2 if you did 1*2?

kaylak:

even if you added it no answer choice

Vocaloid:

<1,2> dot <1.2> = 1^2 + 2^2 = ?

kaylak:

okay so 5

Vocaloid:

good for 3) the magnitude is the square root of the dot product so sqrt([sqrt(45)])

Vocaloid:

for 4) you would first calculate 2u by doubling the coordinates of u, then calculate the dot product of 2u and v using the same method as the first problem

kaylak:

-9 12

Vocaloid:

-3 * 2 is -6 not -9 so your new vector 2u is 2u = <-6,12> v = <1, 2> then calculate the dot product of these two vectors

kaylak:

oh crap

kaylak:

hold on

kaylak:

-6 12 -6 24 18 final answer

kaylak:

i squared 3 oops

Vocaloid:

good, 18 is your sol'n
