The Dot Product of Two Vectors
In this section, you will study a third vector operation, the dot product. This product yields a scalar, rather than a vector.

Example 1 – Finding Dot Products
Find each dot product.
a. 4, 5 2, 3 b. 2, –1 1, 2 c. 0, 3 4, –2
Solution:
a. 4, 5 2, 3 = 4(2) + 5(3)
= 8 + 15
= 23
b. 2, –1 1, 2 = 2(1) + (–1)(2)
= 2 – 2
= 0

On the TI-36X Pro:1. Go to vector, arrow
over to edit, enter the 1st vector. Repeat for the 2nd vector.
2. Go to vector, arrow over to math, choose DotProduct, go back to vector, choose each vector, separated by a comma.

The Angle Between Two Vectors
The angle between two nonzerovectors is the angle , 0 ,between their respective standard position vectors, as shown in
Figure 6.33. This angle can be foundusing the dot product.

The Angle Between Two Vectors
Rewriting the expression for the angle between two vectors in the form
u v = || u || || v || cos
produces an alternative way to calculate the dot product.
From this form, you can see that because || u || and || v || are always positive, u v and cos will always have the same sign.
Alternative form of dot product

The Angle Between Two Vectors
This is a direct result of the previous formula with case 3.
The terms orthogonal and perpendicular mean essentially the same thing—meeting at right angles.
Note that the zero vector is orthogonal to every vector u, because 0 u = 0.

The vectors are parallel (and travelling in opposite directions).This is case 1 from page 460.
If we were only determining if they are orthogonal, the dot product would be enough.
