Multiplication of Vector Elements

Two 3-dimensional vectors, each element is multiplied by the corresponding one

This is a simple multiplication in which the individual elements of a vector are multiplied by the corresponding element of the other vector. See the description on the right.

The multiplication to the vector product or cross product can be found here on other pages.

To perform the multiplication, enter the vectors to be multiplied and click the Calculate button. Empty elements are counted as 0.

Description of vector multiplication

Vectors are multiplied by multiplying the individual elements of the first vector by the corresponding elements of the second vector.

\(\displaystyle\left[\matrix{x1\\y1\\z1}\right] \cdot \left[\matrix{x2\\y2\\z2}\right] = \left[\matrix{x1 \cdot x2\\y1 \cdot y2\\z1 \cdot z2}\right]\)

Example

\(\displaystyle\left[\matrix{2\\3\\4}\right] \cdot \left[\matrix{5\\4\\3}\right] = \left[\matrix{2 \cdot 5\\3 \cdot 4\\4 \cdot 3}\right]= \left[\matrix{10\\12\\12}\right]\)
