Calculate Sum of Products (x,y,z)

[tstuddud]

I don't quite understand the method to solve this type of question.

Let x=(-3,2,5), y=(2,4,-5), and z=(1,6,7). Calculate:

I view such qns playing with 'arrays' and 'susbstituion'.

Generally, i will view it this way:-

x is an array of (-3,2,5)
y is an array of (2,4,-5)

first part is u do the summation first - i call it inner.

Inner: (-3)(2) + (2)(4)

Then you do the Products - i call it outer.

But is your question complete? Theres no 'j' in your formulaes pasted.

What you have written,
\prod_{j= 1}^3\sum_{i=1}^2 x_iy_i and
\sum_{j=1}^3\prod_{i=1}^2 x_iy_i
are just
\prod_{j=1}^3(x_1y_1+ x_2y_2+ x_3y_3)= \prod_{j=1}^3((-3)(2)+ (2)(4)+ (5)(-5))= \prod_{j=1}^3(-6+ 8- 10)= 3(8)= 24
and
\sum{j= 1}^3((x_1y_1)(x_2y_2))= \sum_{j=1}^3 (-3)(2)(2)(4)= \sum_{j=1}^3 48= 3(48)= 144

But I suspect you meant
\prod_{j=1}^3\sum_{i= 1}^2 x_iy_j and
\sum{j=1}^3\Pi_{i=1}^2 x_iy_j

The first of those is
\prod_{j=1}^3(x_1+ x_2)y_j= (x_1+ x_2)\prod_{j=1}^3y_i= (x_1+ x_2)(y_1y_2y_3)
surely you can do that arithmetic yourself.
