I just got an answer from my teacher. a.a is basically |a|^2
A . (A + 3B +7C) = A.A + 3(A.B) + 7(A.C)
A.B and A.C are given
A . (A + 3B +7C) = A.A +(3*3) +(7*-1)
A . (A + 3B +7C) = A.A + 2
whats A.A
X.Y = |X|*|Y| * cos(θ)
A is normal to A there for θ = 0
or
The angle between A and A is 0
cos(0) = 1
A.A = 4
A . (A + 3B +7C) = 4 + 2 =6
hope that helps
I don't understand how come A.A is 4. Is |A| = A? What logic do u use to assume them equal? Thanks.
