 𝑏 ∙ 𝑎 = 4𝑥1 + 0𝑥(−3) + 8𝑥5 = 4 + 0 + 40 = 44

11-16 General Problem
11. What Laws do Probs. 1 and 4-7 illustrate.
 Prob. 1, dot product of vector
𝑎 = (𝑎1 , 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 ), 𝑏 = (𝑏1 , 𝑏2 , 𝑏3 )
𝑎 ∙ 𝑏 = 𝑎1 𝑏1 + 𝑎2 𝑏2 + 𝑎3 𝑏3
 Probs. 4 and 5, use law |𝑎 + 𝑏| ≤ |𝑎| + |𝑏|
 Prob. 6, use law |𝑎 + 𝑏|2 + |𝑎 − 𝑏|2 = 2(|𝑎|2 + |𝑏|2 )
 Prob. 7, use law |𝑎 ∙ 𝑏| ≤ |𝑎||𝑏|
12. What does 𝑢 ∙ 𝑣 = 𝑢 ∙ 𝑤 imply if 𝑢 = 0? If 𝑢 ≠ 0?
With use law,
 𝑎 ∙ 𝑏 = |𝑎||𝑏| cos 𝛾 if 𝑎 ≠ 0, 𝑏 ≠ 0
 𝑎∙𝑏 =0 if 𝑎 = 0 or 𝑏 = 0

If 𝑢 = 0,
0 ∙ 𝑣 = 0 ∙ 𝑤 = 0,
 (𝑣|𝑣 ∈ 𝑅)
 (𝑤|𝑤 ∈ 𝑅)
If 𝑢 ≠ 0,
𝑢 ∙ 𝑣 = 𝑢 ∙ 𝑤 = |𝑢||𝑣| cos 𝛾 = |𝑢||𝑣| cos 𝛾
 𝑢=𝑤≠0
