MATLAB ACTIVITY 6 – Dot Product & Orthogonal in MATLAB

Enter the MATLAB syntax you used and MATLAB output in the space provided

1. Find the length, distance , angle between v 1 4  1 , w  7 2 0

For length
Syntax: >>v = [1 4 -1];norm(v)
Output: ans = 4.2426

Syntax: >> w = [7 2 0];norm(w)

Output: ans = 7.2801

Syntax: v=[2 -1 0 6];w=[4 2 3 -1]; dot(v, w)

Output: ans = 0
Th

If the dot product is equal to zero it is orthogonal therefore the vector v and w is orthogonal because their dot
product is equal to zero.

B. Let a  3  2 1 , Find a value for k so that the dot product of a with b  k 1 4 is zero. Verify your
result in MATLAB. Enter your solutions and MATLAB output in space provided.
a=[ 3 -2 1] , b = [k 1 4]

a∙ b = (3)(k)+(-2)(1)+(1)(4)
3k – 2 + 4 = 0

Describe and differentiate the dot product of each vector

ar stu

As you can see that the product of all the dot products is a positive integer even the
givens has positive and negative integer. And the 2nd problem has the highest product which is
127 next is the 3rd problem which is 39 and lastly the 1st problem which is 29.
