(b) Summarize the two ways you calculate a scalar product (also called a dot product).
(c) Use both methods to calculate ~a ·
~b for each of the following cases:
(i) if ~a = (−4, −9) and ~b = (−1, 2)
(ii) if |~a| = 10, θa = 30◦ and |
~b| = 2, θb = 120◦
. Note that both angles are defined
with respect to +x-axis.
