how to take two vectors and multiply them together??

  • various different ways to do it
  • (3i + 2j) x (4i-6j) = (3x4)i + (2*(-6))j
    • turns out only some definitions to be meaningful or useful, and this one isnโ€™t. not at all conventional.
  • two methods of multiplying vectors

scalar product

  • mechanical work in physics
    • work = force x displacement ?!??!?!?!? (physics reference IN SPECIALIST???)
    • 200N of force, moves only 5m, therefore work done is 1000Nm
    • how to do it on an angle/??
      • if its 200newtons pulled at an angle of 60 degrees, and itโ€™s moved 5m, the formula is alittle different!!!
      • force in direction = 200N x cos60
    • the scalar product of two vectors is
    • SCALAR PRODUCT IS ALWAYS and NOT
    • algebraic properties:
      • ALSO:
        • if and only if
    • some other observation:
      • the angle between 2 vectors is always 0, acute, right, obtuse or straight.
      • if it is 0, , if acute , if right , if obtuse , and if straight
      • now replace with !!
    • the miracle component form

    • the miracle of component form is hence:
    • e.g. if and
