In this video, we dive into the process of finding the dot product of two vectors. The dot product is simply the sum of the products of their respective components, resulting in a scalar—a single numerical value.
But what exactly does this number mean?
One key takeaway is that if the dot product of two vectors is zero, those vectors are orthogonal or perpendicular.
Conversely, if two vectors are orthogonal, their dot product must be zero. Additionally, we explore how the dot product, combined with the magnitudes of the vectors, can be used to find the angle between them.
A complete, easy-to-understand breakdown of a fundamental vector operation!
