For example,〈4,−3〉·〈3,2〉 = (4)(3)+(−3)(2) = 6〈1,2,−3〉·〈4,−1,2〉 = (1)(4)+(2)(−1)+(−3)(2) = −4Algebraic Properties of the Dot ProductTheorem 3.7 If u, v, and w are vectors in 2-space or 3-space and k is a scalar, then:(a) u·v = v·u(b) u·(v+w) = u·v+u·w(c) k(u·v) = (ku)·v = u·(kv)(d) v·v = ‖v‖ 2(e) 0·v = 0Angle Between VectorsSuppose that u and v are nonzero vectors in 2-space or 3-space that are positioned so theirinitial pointscoincide. Wedefine the angle between u and v tobe theangleθ determinedby the vectors that satisfies the condition 0 ≤ θ ≤ π.uθvuθvuθvuθvTheorem 3.8 If u and v are nonzero vectors in 2-space or 3-space, and if θ is the anglebetween them, thencosθ = u·v(3.5)‖u‖‖v‖

Since u and v are assumed to be nonzero vectors, this version ofthe formula make it clear that the sign of u·v is the same as the sign of cosθ. Thus, wecan tell from the dot product whether the angle between two vectors is acute or obtuse orwhether the vectors are perpendicular.uθvuθvuθvu·v > 0u·v < 0u·v = 0Direction AnglesIn both 2-space and 3-space the angle between a nonzero vector v and the vectors i, j,and k are called the direction angles of v, and the cosines of these angles are called thedirection cosines of v. Formulas for the direction cosines of a vector can be obtainedform Formula (3.5). For example, if v = v 1 i+v 2 j+v 3 k, thencosα = v·i‖v‖‖i‖ = v 1 v·j, cosβ =‖v‖ ‖v‖‖j‖ = v 2 v·k, cosγ =‖v‖ ‖v‖‖k‖ = v 3‖v‖
