Two vectors are given as A⃗ = 2i^ + 3j^ − 3k^ and B⃗ = -1i^ + 5j^ + 3k^. Find A⃗ ⋅ B⃗

A·B = 4

Explanation:

Given that,

Vector A = 2i+3j-3k

Vector B = -i+5j+3k

We need to find the value of A·B.

We know that,

i·i=j·j=k·k = 1 and i·j=j·k=k·i=0

So,

So, the value of A·B is equal to 4.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
