Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If A = 6i + 8j and B = 2i + 3j, what is the scalar product A · B?
  • Step 1: Identify the components of vector A. A = 6i + 8j means A has a component of 6 in the i direction and 8 in the j direction.
  • Step 2: Identify the components of vector B. B = 2i + 3j means B has a component of 2 in the i direction and 3 in the j direction.
  • Step 3: Calculate the product of the i components of A and B. Multiply 6 (from A) by 2 (from B): 6 * 2 = 12.
  • Step 4: Calculate the product of the j components of A and B. Multiply 8 (from A) by 3 (from B): 8 * 3 = 24.
  • Step 5: Add the results from Step 3 and Step 4 together. 12 + 24 = 36.
  • Step 6: The scalar product A · B is 36.
