The first of these is called the dot product. When we take the dot product of vectors, the result is a scalar. For this reason, the dot product is also called the scalar product and sometimes the inner product.

If T then by the well ordering principle, there would have to exist a smallest element of T, denoted as b. It must be the case that b>a since by definition, aT. Thus ba+1, and so b1a and b1S because if b1 S, then b1+1=bS by the assumed property of S. Therefore, \(b-…

First, it is necessary to review some important concepts. You may recall the definitions for the span of a set of vectors and a linear independent set of vectors.

    Recall that the dot product is one of two important products for vectors. The second type of product for vectors is called the cross product.

    Then, by using Definition 4.4.1, the length of this vector is given by \[\sqrt{\left( \left( k u_{1}\right) ^{2}+\left( k u_{2}\right) ^{2}+\left( k u_{3}\right) ^{2}\right) }=\left\vert k \right\vert...Then, by using Definition 4.4.1, the length of this vector is given by ((ku1)2+(ku2)2+(ku3)2)=|k|u21+u22+u23 Thus the following holds. In other words, multiplication by a scalar magnifies or shrinks the length of the vector by a factor of \left\vert k \right\vert.
