Answer

(a) $\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=-6.$ (b) $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{v}=8.$ (c) $\|u\|^2=\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}= 5.$ (d) $(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v})v=(-12,12).$ (e) $\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{(5v)}=-30.$

Work Step by Step

Since $\mathbf{u}=(-1,2), \quad \mathbf{v}=(2,-2)$, we have (a) $\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=-2-4=-6.$ (b) $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{v}=4+4=8.$ (c) $\|u\|^2=\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{u}=1+4= 5.$ (d) $(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v})v=-6(2,-2)=(-12,12).$ (e) $\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{(5v)}=(-1,2)\cdot (10,-10) =-10-20=-30.$
