Answer

$3.6265.$

Work Step by Step

For the matrices $u=\begin{bmatrix} u_{1} \\ u_{2} \\ \vdots\\ u_{n} \end{bmatrix}$ and $v=\begin{bmatrix} v_{1} \\ v_{2} \\ \vdots\\ v_{n} \end{bmatrix}$ The dot product is: $u\cdot v=u_1\cdot v_1+u_2\cdot v_2+...+u_n\cdot v_n.$ Hence: $u\cdot v=1.12\cdot (-2.29)+(-3.25)\cdot 1.72+2.07\cdot 4.33+(-1.83)\cdot(-1.54)=3.6265.$
