Prove that the dot between two vectors is commutative not associative
The dot product of two Euclidean vectors and is defined by
where is the angle between and
The dot between two vectors is commutative. This follows from the definition of the dot product
where is the angle between and
The dot product between a scalar ) and a vector is not defined, which means that the expressions involved in the associative property, or are both ill-defined.
Hence the dot between two vectors is not associative.
