A*B=-59AB=59

Explanation:

A= (A_x,A_y,A_z )A=(Ax,Ay,Az)

B=(B_x,B_y,B_z )B=(Bx,By,Bz)

A.B=(A_x*B_x+A_y*B_y+A_z*B_z)" (Dot product of A and B)"A.B=(AxBx+AyBy+AzBz) (Dot product of A and B)

A=<7,-3,9>" ; "B= <4,2,-9>A=<7,3,9> ; B=<4,2,9>

A_x=7" ; "A_y=-3" ; "A_z=9Ax=7 ; Ay=3 ; Az=9

B_x=4" ; "B_y=2" ; "B_z=-9Bx=4 ; By=2 ; Bz=9

A*B=(7*4+(-3)*2+(-9)*9)AB=(74+(3)2+(9)9)

A*B=(28-6-81)AB=(28681)

A*B=28-87AB=2887

A*B=-59AB=59
