Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Idea. Convert to components and use \( \vec i\cdot\vec i=\vec j\cdot\vec j=\vec k\cdot\vec k=1\) and cross terms \(0\).
\((-2,1,0)\cdot(3,-1,1)=(-2)\cdot3+1\cdot(-1)+0\cdot1=-6-1+0=-7.\)
\((-2,1,0)\cdot(3,-1,1)=(-2)\cdot3+1\cdot(-1)+0\cdot1=-6-1+0=-7.\)
