Statement

Let nn\in N\mathbb{N}, and let x=(x1,,xn)x=(x_1,\dots,x_n) and y=(y1,,yn)y=(y_1,\dots,y_n) be points of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n.

  1. The difference xyx-y is the point of Rn\mathbb{R}^n defined by
xy=(x1y1,,xnyn),x-y=(x_1-y_1,\dots,x_n-y_n),

where in each coordinate the difference is that of real numbers. 2. The dot product of xx and yy is the real number

xy=i=1nxiyi.x\cdot y=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i .
  1. The points xx and yy are called orthogonal if xy=0x\cdot y=0.
