Dot product
Function DOT is used to calculate the dot product of two vectors with the same
length. Attempting to calculate the dot product of two vectors of different length
causes an error message “
”.
For 2-D vectors: [A, B], [C, D], dot product is defined as [A, B] [C, D]= A x C +B x
D.
For 3-D vectors: [A, B, X], [C, D,Y], dot product is defined as [A, B, X] [C, D, Y]= A
x C +B x D+X x Y

Note: The sign,
,here means ”dot product” instead of “cross product”. For cross
product, see chapter 17.
