Question
confused on whether i use the given vectors or if i have to calculate the vectors using the image given
Two vectors are presented as a = 6.0î + 4.5j and b = 5.5î + 2.5j. Find the following. (Hint: For (d), consider the equation a b = ab cos o and the figure below.)
Component of b
along direction of
a is b cos o
Multiplying these gives
the dot product.
Component of q
along direction of
bis a cos o
Or multiplying these
gives the dot product.
(a) axb (Express your answer in vector form.)
(b) a.3
(c) (a + b) - 6
(d)
the component of a along the direction of b
