The dot product of two vectors in R3\mathbb{R}^3 is defined as a.b=axbx+ayby+azbz\bold{a} . \bold{b} = a_x b_x + a_y b_y + a_z b_z.

Hence, for vectors a=(a,a,2a)\bold a = (a, a, 2 a) and b=(2a,a,a)\bold b = (2 a, -a, a):

a.b=a2aaa+2aa=3a2\bold a . \bold b = a \cdot 2 a - a \cdot a + 2a \cdot a = 3 a^2.
