Question
Find $\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}$ when
$\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=4\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+7\hat{\text{k}}$

Answer

$\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}$
$=(\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}).(4\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+7\hat{\text{k}})$
$=(1)(4)+(-2).(-4)+(1)(7)$
$=4+8+7$
$=19$
$\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=19$
