The cross product of two parallel vectors is the zero vector. This indicates that there is no perpendicular vector to both, reflecting their lack of spatial separation, as the sin of the angle between parallel vectors (0° or 180°) is zero .

Unit vectors have a magnitude of one and indicate direction without considering length. They are fundamental in defining directional components of vectors, simplifying operations such as dot and cross products by reducing overhead as unit vectors, e.g., i, j, and k, frequently represent axes in 3D space .

The scalar triple product a · (b × c) gives the volume of the parallelepiped formed by vectors a, b, and c. This represents how these vectors span a three-dimensional space, and the result is scalar indicating the 'amount' of three-dimensional space enclosed .

To calculate the vector product or cross product (3i + 4j) and (5i + 2j), we first find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix constituted by unit vectors i, j, k, and the components of the vectors. Since these vectors are in the plane (no k component), the result will be a z-axis vector, signifying magnitude and direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the original vectors, computed as (3*2 - 5*4) k = -14k [Synthetic synthesis derived from multiple cross product properties in Source 1].

The magnitude of a vector a = xi + yj is calculated by the formula |a| = √(x² + y²). For the vector 3i + 4j, its magnitude is √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 .

If the cross product of vectors a and b is zero, it indicates that the vectors are parallel. There is no perpendicular vector, as their spatial separation angle is 0° or 180°, causing the sine of the angle to be zero .

The dot product of two vectors is given by the formula a · b = |a||b|cosθ. For vectors with magnitudes |a| = 3 and |b| = 4 and an angle θ = 60°, the dot product is 3 × 4 × cos(60°) = 12 × 0.5 = 6 .

The dot product of two vectors is zero if they are perpendicular because the cosine of the angle between them (90°) is zero. Therefore, a · b = |a||b|cos(90°) = 0 .

The angle between vector i and -i is 180°, indicating they are diametrically opposed. It is calculated knowing their dot product a · b = |a||b|cosθ, where cosθ = -1, θ = 180° .

The unit vector of a vector a is given by a/|a|. The magnitude of the vector 7i − 24j is calculated as √(7² + (-24)²) = √(49 + 576) = √625 = 25. Thus, the unit vector is (7i − 24j)/25 .
