define a scalar named 𝑐 = 𝑎 ∗ 𝑏 that stores the value of the dot product between 𝐚 and � in matlab

To define a scalar named c that stores the value of the dot product between a and b in MATLAB, follow the steps below:

main.m
% define vectors a and b
a = [1 2 3];
b = [4 5 6];

% calculate dot product
c = dot(a,b); 

% c = 32

The dot product of two vectors is calculated using the dot function in MATLAB. You can then assign the output of this function to a scalar variable, in this case c.
