Given vector u with components two comma negative eight and vector v with components eight comma negative two , what is vector u times vector v ?

Multiplying the vectors here means finding their dot product: multiply corresponding components and add the results. For u = (2, −8) and v = (8, −2), this gives 2 × 8 + (−8) × (−2) = 16 + 16 = 32. The correct choice is 32.
