Question

If A = 2i + 3j, B = 3i + 5j, and C = 4i - 6j, find A(B·C).
Options
A -36i - 54j
Correct Answer
B 61
C 114i + 76j
D i + 19j
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

First compute the dot product: B·C = (3×4) + (5×-6) = 12 − 30 = −18. Then multiply vector A by this scalar: A(B·C) = −18(2i + 3j) = −36i − 54j.

Hint

Dot product gives a scalar, then multiply the vector by that scalar.
