#"Dot Product or Scalar Product " #
#(a_1,a_2,a_3)·(b_1,b_2,b_3)=a_1b_1+a_2b_2+a_3b_3#

#"Vector Product " = abs(vec A) * abs(vec B)#

#color(green)(vecA·vecB=2 * -6 + 1 * -4 + -3·0= -16#

#color(blue)(abs(vecA)=sqrt(2^2+1^2+ -3^2)=sqrt 14#

#color(blue)(abs(vecB)=sqrt(-6^2+ -4^2+ 0^2)=sqrt 52#

#vecA·vecB-abs(vecA)·abs(vecB)=-16- sqrt 14 sqrt 52#

#=> -16 -26.9815 =color(indigo)(-42.9815#
