(a)
12B + 0.4A = <12*1+0.4*3,12*(-2)+0.4*5 , 12*1+0.4*(-7)>
=< 13.2 , 22 , 9.2 >= 13.2 a x 22 a y + 9.2 a z
b)
A.B = 3*1 + 5*(-2) + (-7)*1 = 3-10-7 =-14
| B | 2 = 1 2 + ( 2 ) 2 + 1 2 = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6
A . B | B | 2 = 14 6 = 20
c)
A × B = | i j k 3 5 7 1 2 1 | = ( 5 14 ) i + ( 7 3 ) j + ( 6 5 ) k
= 9 i 10 j 11 k
