Dot Product - HP 35s User Manual

Dot product

Function DOT is used to calculate the dot product of two vectors with the same
length. Attempting to calculate the dot product of two vectors of different length
causes an error message " ".
For 2-D vectors: [A, B], [C, D], dot product is defined as [A, B] [C, D]= A x C +B x
D.
For 3-D vectors: [A, B, X], [C, D,Y], dot product is defined as [A, B, X] [C, D, Y]= A
x C +B x D+X x Y
