We have been given two vectors:

a=3\hat i-4\hat j+5\hat k

b=-2\hat i+\hat j-3\hat k

To find the scalar product of two vectors we will use:

a.b=a_xb_x+a_yb_y+a_zc_z

Where, i, j, and k are the components of unit vectors along 'x', 'y', and 'z'.

a_x=3,b_x=-2, a_y=-4,b_y=1, a_z=5,b_z=-3

so the scalar product is given by:

3 \times(-2) + (-4)\times1 + 5\times(-3) = -6 - 4 - 15 = -25

So the scalar product of vectors a and b is -25.

Vector product of the vectors 'a' and 'b' is given by:

(a_x, b_x, a_z)\times(a_y,b_y,b_z)=(a_y.b_z-a_z.b_y)\hat i+(a_xb_z-b_xa_z)\hat j+(a_xb_y-a_yb_x) \hat k

Substituting the values of each component we get:

\begin{pmatrix}3&-4&5\end{pmatrix}\times \begin{pmatrix}-2&1&-3\end{pmatrix}=(7 -1 -5)

The vector product of 'a' and 'b' is represented by :

7\hat i-\hat j-5\hat k
