Answer

59

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given vectors.

    The two vectors are A=[652]\mathbf{A} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 5 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} and B=[194]\mathbf{B} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 9 \\ 4 \end{bmatrix}.

  2. Calculate the dot product.

    The dot product of two vectors is found by multiplying corresponding components and summing the results.

    A⋅B=(6)(1)+(5)(9)+(2)(4)\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = (6)(1) + (5)(9) + (2)(4)
  3. Perform the multiplication and addition.

    A⋅B=6+45+8\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = 6 + 45 + 8 A⋅B=51+8\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = 51 + 8 A⋅B=59\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = 59

    The dot product is 59.
