\section{Dot Products}
\definition{}
We can also define the \textit{dot product} of two vectors.\footnotemark{} \\
The dot product maps two elements of $\mathbb{R}^n$ to one element of $\mathbb{R}$:
\footnotetext{
\textbf{Bonus content. Feel free to skip.}
Formally, we would say that the dot product is a map from $\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Why is this reasonable?
\vspace{2mm}
It's also worth noting that a function $f$ from $X$ to $Y$ can defined as a subset of $X \times Y$, where for all $x \in X$ there exists a unique $y \in Y$ so that $(x, y) \in f$. Try to make sense of this definition.

Show that the dot product is
\begin{itemize}
\item Commutative
\item Distributive
\item Homogeneic: $x(a \cdot b) = xa \cdot b = a \cdot xb$
\item Positive definite: $a \cdot a \geq 0$, with equality iff $a = 0$

Say you have two vectors, $a$ and $b$. Show that $\langle a, b \rangle$ = $||a||~||b||\cos(\alpha)$ \\

\hint{The law of cosines is $a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos(\alpha) = c^2$}
