Answer

v and v·v are related as follows v·v=v2

1Step 1:Given information

v and v·v

2Step 2:Simplification

 Consider the vector v and v·v

 If u and v are the vector such that u=u1,u2,u3 and v=v1,v2,v3, then dot product is given 

 by u.v=u1v1+u2v2+w1w2

NOW,  v=v1,v2,v3

 Therefore, 

V.V=v1·v1+v2·v2+v3·v3

=v12+v22+v22

 Therefore, the dot product of the two vectors v.v is v12+v22+v22

 If v is the vector in R3 such that v=v1,v2,v3, then norm of the vector is given by 

v=v12+v22+v32

 From (1) and (2) it is clear that 

V·V=V2

 Hence, v and v·v are related as follows v·v=v2
