Answer:

The angle between vector \vec{u} = 5\, \vec{i} - 8\, \vec{j} and \vec{v} = 5\, \vec{i} + \, \vec{j} is approximately 1.21 radians, which is equivalent to approximately 69.3^\circ.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two vectors can be found from the ratio between:

  • their dot products, and
  • the product of their lengths.

To be precise, if \theta denotes the angle between \vec{u} and \vec{v} (assume that 0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ or equivalently 0 \le \theta < \pi,) then:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}.

<h3>Dot product of the two vectors</h3>

The first component of \vec{u} is 5 and the first component of \vec{v} is also

The second component of \vec{u} is (-8) while the second component of \vec{v} is 1. The product of these two second components is (-8) \times 1= (-8).

The dot product of \vec{u} and \vec{v} will thus be:

\begin{aligned} \vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = 5 \times 5 + (-8) \times1 = 17 \end{aligned}.

<h3>Lengths of the two vectors</h3>

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to both \vec{u} and \vec{v}:

  • \| u \| = \sqrt{5^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{89}.
  • \| v \| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{26}.

<h3>Angle between the two vectors</h3>

Let \theta represent the angle between \vec{u} and \vec{v}. Apply the formula\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} to find the cosine of this angle:

\begin{aligned} \cos(\theta)&= \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} = \frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\end{aligned}.

Since \theta is the angle between two vectors, its value should be between 0\; \rm radians and \pi \; \rm radians (0^\circ and 180^\circ.) That is: 0 \le \theta < \pi and 0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ. Apply the arccosine function (the inverse of the cosine function) to find the value of \theta:

\displaystyle \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\right) \approx 1.21 \;\rm radians \approx 69.3^\circ .

What is the midpoint of (-7,-9) (6,3)
Advocard [28]

Answer :

Let the first term of both the terms be \:  \sf \: x _1 \:  \: \& \:  \: x _2 and last term be \:  \sf \: y _1 \:  \: \& \:  \: y_2\\

Now, by using the mid point formula to find the mid point of the segment -

\\   \sf \bigg( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \:  \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}  \bigg) \\

Now, by substituting the values of both x and y -

\\  \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 7 + 6}{2} , \:   \frac{ - 9 + 3}{2}  \bigg) \\

Adding -7 and 6 -

\\  \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 1}{2} , \frac{ - 9 + 3}{2}  \bigg) \\

Now, move the negative in front of the fraction -

\\  \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 1}{2} , \frac{ - 6}{2}  \bigg) \\  \\  \\  \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 1}{2} , - 3\bigg) \\
