Enter The MATLAB Syntax You Used and MATLAB Output in The Space Provided 1. Find The Length, Distance, Angle Between

This document contains a student's work on a MATLAB activity involving dot products and orthogonal vectors. 1. The student calculates the length, distance, and angle between two vectors v and w using MATLAB syntax and outputs the results. 2. They determine if two vectors v and w are orthogonal by calculating their dot product in MATLAB, which equals 0, indicating orthogonality. 3. The student finds a value for k that makes the dot product of vectors a and b equal 0, as required, and verifies this result in MATLAB. 4. Dot products are computed for three different vectors v in MATLAB, with the outputs being positive integers as expected since dot products yield non-negative results.

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: = 4.2426

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


Output: = 7.2801

For distance

Syntax: distance=norm(v-w)
Output: distance = 6.4031

For angle

Syntax: costheta=(dot(v,w))/(norm(v)*norm(w))

Output: costheta = 0.4856

Value of theta

Syntax: theta= acosd(costheta)


Output: theta = 60.95 degrees

Output: = 0

On the off chance that the dab item is equivalent to zero it is symmetrical in this way the vector v and w is
symmetrical in light of the fact that their speck item is equivalent to nothing.

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
3k + 2 = 0

3k = -2

k = -2/3

Syntax: a = [3 -2 1]; b = [-2/3 1 4]; dot (a, b)


Output: = 0

C. For each of the following vectors v, compute dot(v,v) in MATLAB. Enter the MATLAB syntax you used
and MATLAB output in the space provided

1. v   4 2  3

Syntax: v = [4 2 -3]; dot (v, v)


Output: = 29

2. v    9 3 1 0 6

Syntax: v=[-9 3 1 0 6]; dot(v, v)


Output: = 127

Describe and differentiate the dot product of each vector

All value of dot product is a positive integer, even if the given have negative the product still positive,
the first question has a 1x3 matrix that has a value of 29 and the 2nd question that have 1x5 matrix that has 127
value, the biggest of the three and lastly the question 3 that have 4x1 matrix that has a value of 39.
