Sum of 2 vectors is a vector. But we cannot say the same for a product.
2 ways of defining product of vectors.
Define 2 different types of products of vectors.
Both product satisfy distributive law of multiplication.
i.e. product of A and (B+C)
= (product of A and B) + (product of A and C)
Scalar product of A and B given by multiplying 3 quantities
a) ∣A∣
b) ∣B∣
c) cosine θ
A⋅B=∣A∣∣B∣cosθ
a) scalar product is commutative
A⋅B=B⋅A
∣A∣∣B∣cosθ
∣B∣∣A∣cosθ
b) A⋅B is a scalar, it can be +ve or -ve.
sign will defind on ∠θ.
if θ between 0 and 2π
A⋅B +ve
θ lies 2π and π
A⋅B→ -ve
b) If A⋅B=0, then
∣A∣=0 or ∣B∣=0 or cosθ=0
A⊥B
A is orthogonal to B
Scaler product of 2 unit vectors will be cosine of angle between them.
A⋅(B+C)=(A⋅B)+(A⋅C)

To show 2 vectors are parallel to each other,
cross product = 0
Eg. Given B=xi^+3j^

a) Find x and y such that B and C are ⊥D=5i^+6j^
b) Show that for there value of xady, B∣∣C
