QUESTION 7
Quaternion Dot Product.
Choose one $\cdot 5$ points
Calculate the dot product $q_{1} \cdot q_{2}$
if $q_{1}=[1,-2,1,3]$ and
\[
q_{2}=[1,3,2,0]
\]
$q_{1} \cdot q_{2}=\mathrm{u}$
$q_{1} \cdot q_{2}=-3$
$q_{1} \cdot q_{2}=3$

Final Answer: \(\boxed{-3}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The dot product of two quaternions is calculated by multiplying the corresponding components of the two quaternions and then adding them together.

Step 2 :In this case, the dot product of \(q_{1}\) and \(q_{2}\) is calculated as follows: \(q_{1} \cdot q_{2} = (1*1) + (-2*3) + (1*2) + (3*0)\)

Step 3 :So, the dot product of the two quaternions is -3.

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{-3}\)
