Denzel Buckley · Answer 1

c. 2; no

Step-by-step explanation:

The inner product is the sum of the products of corresponding vector components. It is a scalar value, not a vector value.

(3, 5) · (4, - 2) = (3) (4) + (5) (-2) = 12 - 10 = 2

When the inner product is non-zero, the vectors are not perpendicular. (The yes answers with a non-zero value can be rejected out of hand.)

The appropriate choice is ...

2; no
