The dot product is =-38=38

Explanation:

The dot product of 22 vectors

veca= < a,b, c> a=<a,b,c>

and

vecb= < d,e, f> b=<d,e,f>

is

veca . vecb =< a,b, c> . < d,e, f>a.b=<a,b,c>.<d,e,f>

=(axxd)+(bxxe)+(cxxf)=(a×d)+(b×e)+(c×f)

So,

The dot product is

=<-6, 4, 2> . <7,1,0>=<6,4,2>.<7,1,0>

=(-6xx7)+(4xx1)+(2xx0)=(6×7)+(4×1)+(2×0)

=-42+4+0=42+4+0

=-38=38
