3
Dot Product The dot product of two vectors of two vectors v = and w = is the scalar defined by:
4
Properties of the Dot Product
5
Dot Product and Angle Let θ be the angle between two non zero vectors v and w. Then or
6
Ex Find the angle between v = and w =
7
Orthogonal Vectors Two nonzero vectors are called perpendicular or orthogonal if the angle between them is π/2 or if = 0
8
Ex Determine whether v = is orthogonal to u = or w =
9
Obtuse Angles The angle between two vectors is obtuse if the dot product is < 0
10
Ex Determine whether the angles between vector v = and the vectors u = and w = are obtuse
11
Projection The projection of u along a nonzero v is the vector: OR
12
Ex Find the projection of u = along v =
13
Ex Find the decomposition of u = with respect to v =
