Find a b if a = 3i + 8j and b = -0.5i -4j.

-33.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is a dot products vector problem, so the i and j represent x and y or horizontal and vertical components. So you multiple 3i and -0.5i and then separately multiply 8j and -4j. You get -1.5 and -32. Now all you have to do is add them and you get -33.5.

Basically in short:

1. Multiply the “i’s”.

2. Multiply the “j’s”.

3. Add the two products together.
