The dot product†Example 1 Calculate v · w for v = h6 , −2i and w = h4, 3i.Answer: v · w = 18.Example 2 What is v · w for v = h6, −2, 3i and w = h4, 3, −6i?Answer: v · w = 0Example 3 Find an angle θ between the vectors v = h4, 1 i and w = h2, 4i in Figure 1.Give exact and approximate decimal values.x2 4y24v = h4, 1iw = h2, 4iθFIGURE 1Answer: θ = cos–112√17√20.= 0.862 radiansExample 4 Find the constant k such that the vectors h−3, −1i and hk, −2i areperpendicular. T hen draw the two vectors.Answer: k =23• The vectors are h23, −2i and h−3, −1i. • Figure A4x2y2−2h−3, −1ih23, −2i23Figure A4†Lecture notes to accompany Section 12.3 of Calculus by Hughes-Hallett et al.1Math 10C.
