The dot product (scalar product) of i and j is:

Answer: 0.

  • A 1
  • B i + j
  • C 0
  • D -1

Correct answer: C. 0

Explanation: i . j = 0 because i and j are perpendicular unit vectors. For perpendicular vectors, a.b = |a||b|cos90 = 0.

xya (4,1)b (2,3)a + b (6,4)

Triangle law of vector addition: placing vector b at the head of vector a, the diagonal from the start to the final head gives the resultant a + b.
