ANSWER

a \cdot \: b =  - 4

EXPLANATION

The dot product of two vectors

a = xi + yj

and

b = mi + nj

is given by

a \cdot \: b = mx + ny

The given vectors are:

a = 4i - 4j

b = 4i + 5j

Applying the above definition of dot products, we obtain:

a \cdot \: b = 4 \times 4 +  - 4 \times 5

a \cdot \: b = 16   - 20

a \cdot \: b =  - 4

Answer:

value of a.b = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a.b

a= 4i-4j

b = 4i+5j

We know that i.i =1, j.j=1, i.j =0 and j.i=0

a.b = (4i-4j).(4i+5j)

a.b = 4i(4i+5j)-4j(4i+5j)

a.b = 16i.i +20i.j-16j.i-20j.j

a.b = 16(1) +20(0)-16(0)-20(1)

a.b = 16 +0-0-20

a.b = 16-20

a.b =-4

So, value of a.b = -4

Process average or mean: is computed by dividing the total of the measurements made on the process by the number of measurements
Orlov [11]
Process average or mean is computed by dividing the total of the measurements made on the process by the number of measurements used to compute the total approximates. For example a coach wants to know if football players who warm up before a game will score more points than those who don't warm up. He will break the team up into two groups and make sure each player gets equal time on the field. He will then count how many points each player makes during the game. After counting them, add the scores of the group that he divided and then divided it by the number of player in that group to get an average score on teams that warm up or do not warm up before the game.
