Symmetry and Linearity

From the coordinate representation of the scalar product it follows

$\displaystyle \vec{a}\cdot\vec{b} =
\vec{b}\cdot\vec{a}
$

and

$\displaystyle \left(s\vec{a}+r\vec{b}\right)\cdot\vec{c} =
s\vec{a}\cdot\vec{c}+r\vec{b}\cdot\vec{c}\,
,
$

i.e., the scalar product has properties analogous to some calculation rules of the product of real numbers.
