what is scalar product

Question

ruchi yadav · Answer

The dot product or scalar product of two

vectorsa= [a₁,a₂, ...,a_n]andb= [b₁,b₂, ...,b_n]is defined as:

$\mathbf{a}\cdot \mathbf{b} = \sum_{i=1}^n a_ib_i = a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 + \cdots + a_nb_n$

where S denotessummation notationandnis the dimension of the vector space. For instance, inthree-dimensional space, the dot product of vectors[1, 3, -5]and[4, -2, -1]is:

$\begin{align} \ [1, 3, -5] \cdot [4, -2, -1] &= (1)(4) + (3)(-2) + (-5)(-1) \\ &= 4 - 6 + 5 \\ &= 3. \end{align}$
