Jinsi ya kukokotoa Vector Dot Product

Vector Dot Product ni nini?

The dot product (scalar product) of two vectors produces a scalar — a single number — by summing the products of corresponding components. It encodes both the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them, making it essential for computing projections, work done by a force, lighting in computer graphics, and similarity in machine learning.

Fomula

u · v = |u| × |v| × cos(θ)
v
0 ⟺ vectors are perpendicular (orthogonal) — 0 ⟺ vectors are perpendicular (orthogonal)

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1u · v = u₁v₁ + u₂v₂ + u₃v₃ + ... (sum of component products)
  2. 2u · v = |u| × |v| × cos(θ)
  3. 3θ = arccos(u·v / (|u|×|v|)) — angle between vectors
  4. 4u · v = 0 ⟺ vectors are perpendicular (orthogonal)
  5. 5u · v > 0 ⟺ angle < 90°; u · v < 0 ⟺ angle > 90°

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
u=(3,4,0), v=(4,3,0)
Matokeo
u·v = 12+12+0 = 24, |u|=5, |v|=5, θ=16.3°
Ingizo
u=(1,0,0), v=(0,1,0) (x and y unit vectors)
Matokeo
u·v = 0 — perpendicular ✓
