Answer

$|\overrightarrow{u}|=5$; $\overrightarrow{u} \cdot \overrightarrow{u}=25$; $\overrightarrow{u} \cdot \overrightarrow{v}=60$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $u=(4,-3); v=(9,-8)$ $|\overrightarrow{u}|=\sqrt {(4)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt {25}=5$; $\overrightarrow{u} \cdot \overrightarrow{u}=(4)^2+(-3)^2=25$; $\overrightarrow{u} \cdot \overrightarrow{v}=4(9)+(-3)(-8)=36+24$ or, $\overrightarrow{u} \cdot \overrightarrow{v}=60$
