Step 1
1 of 3

Let u=(1,2,1)\textbf{u}=(-1, 2, 1) and v=(0,1,1)\textbf{v}=(0, 1, 1).

To obtain the scalar product of a vector, multiply each coordinate of the vector with the scalar.

3u=3(1,2,1)=(3(1),3(2),3(1))=(3,6,3)2v=2(0,1,1)=(2(0),2(1),2(1))=(0,2,2)\begin{aligned} 3\textbf{u}&=3(-1, 2, 1) \\ &=(3(-1), 3(2), 3(1)) \\ &=(-3, 6, 3) \\ \\ 2\textbf{v}&=2(0, 1, 1) \\ &=(2(0), 2(1), 2(1)) \\ &=(0, 2, 2) \end{aligned}
